"Keep On The Watch!"

[Bible Speaks]

“Keep on the watch. . . because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.”—MATTHEW 24:42.

Jesus gave this warning: “Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.

But know one thing, that if the householder had known in what watch thethief was coming, he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.” (Matthew 24:42, 43) So Jesus likened his coming to the arrival of a thief—unexpected.

Because we truly love Jehovah, we find the greatest delight in doing his will. (Psalm 40:8;Matthew 26:39)

And we want to serve Jehovah forever. That prospect is not less precious just because we must wait a little longer than we may have expected.

Above all, we keep onthe watch because we eagerly anticipate what Jehovah’s day will mean for the accomplishment of his purpose.

Our earnest desire to please God moves us to apply thecounsel of his Word and give his Kingdom first place in our life. (Matthew 6:33; 1 John 5:3)

Let us consider to keep  on the watch it should influence the decisions we make and the way we live our life each day.

Jesus said: “Just as the days of Noah were, so thepresence of the Son of man will be. For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so thepresence of the Son of man will be.” (Matthew 24:37-39)

What can we learn from that? If any of us are allowing mundane concerns—even the normal activities of life—to crowd out the spiritual activities that God urges us to keep in first place, we need to think seriously about our situation.—Romans 14:17.
