We often say “come quickly Lord Jesus”, but do we watch intently for Him to actually come after we have said this? It is common for people to go through the motions of their religion without really living out its faithful expectation. We pray and then work our fingers to the bone trying to make that prayer come true of our own accord; never looking once for God to answer us. Many of us stand in awe before a majestic mountain range, but do we see God in it… even as an afterthought? In fact we should live our lives as watchmen; ever vigilant, straining to see the Lord coming, and cupping our hands to our ears to hear His voice.
