Unseen...

Sometimes we forget that there is more happening than what meets the eye. As we are reading through the gospels heading into Easter, we are becoming aware that there is more going on than what we can see. There are unseen forces at work all around us reminding us that there is more to this world than what we can see.

The disciples wanted to know more about when the end would come. Much like us they wanted a time table with everything laid out. Jesus did not give them that. Instead he told them to watch out-to pay attention-to be prepared-to remain faithful. We need to know to know that God is always at work and the enemy is as well.

 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” (Matthew 24:42–44)

I don't know about you, but it's hard for me to wrap my mind around this truth and to take the time to stop and just think about it during my day.  Today, I'm going to try to take some to do that-especially when things get tough.   Do you ever stop to think about the unseen things happening around us? I'd love to hear from you on this.
