Today’s reading is Luke 21:20-38
“”But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.””

‭‭Luke‬ ‭21:34-36‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap.” Jesus was speaking to the crowds about the end of days. However, whether it’s the end of days for everyone or the end of our days, we can chose to seek hope in the things of this world or in Christ. If we put our hope in the things of this world, we will be weighed down with those things. Whereas when we put our hope in Christ, we can hold onto to Him knowing He lasts forever. Please pray that we and our friends put our hope in Christ. Please pray for Stephen and Hunter as they are building their group.
