with the end in mind

1 Peter 4

The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Regardless of how much (or little) time will elapse before Jesus returns, we are instructed here in a couple of ways:
  1. stay focused
  2. so that you will pray
  3. and love people

So, how do you stay focused?  Prayer, Scripture reading, fellowship with Brothers and Sisters in Christ.  We are supposed to keep the end in mind.  Jesus will return, and in the mean time, we are sharing his love with as many as we can so that they will believe in Him and experience His life.

Heavenly Father, please help me keep the end in mind.  Lord, I want to be sober minded and focused on you and your Kingdom.  Lord, please use me for your good purpose.  I love you and pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
