2 Chronicles 16:1-17:19; Ezekiel 37:1-28; John 15:1-16
What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch. Matthew 26:40-41
Jesus asked Peter, James and John to watch and pray, while He prayed alone to His Father. Thrice He returned to them; thrice, He found them sleeping! In our Christian walk, we need to watch because “the devil…walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). We also need to watch for the Lord. He is coming soon! While waiting and watching, let us continue to remember Him, “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come” (1 Cor. 11:26). —K. C. Ung
Watch and pray, the Lord commandeth;
Watch and pray, ’twill not be long:
Soon He’ll gather home His loved ones,
To the happy vale of song. —Fanny J. Crosby
