I couldn’t sleep last night as I awoke in the middle of it. Different ones in much distress were on my mind. As I spent time giving them over to the Lord and asking God to prompt me in ways I should support them, I was then able to sleep. As I began my bible reading it was centered on Jesus’ words to the disciples regarding the last days. It seems quite obvious that we are entering the last days, but it also appears we are in the beginning of them. I am no prophet, but I don’t want to be negligent in obeying God’s leadership in my life. Staying awake and staying focused on what He nudges me to do is my goal. The fact that we are in the days we are doesn’t mean I should change my focus unless I’m out of focus. God is faithful and will alert me if that is so. This is true for each one of us.

One of those on my mind during the night is very concerned about these last days. He is having a good deal of hardship in his life at the present time. I sure know those times for when I was his age and going through similar circumstances I felt exactly as he does today. I can look back and name those I knew were praying for me and holding me up, giving me support spiritually, emotionally and physically. God nudged them I’m sure and He nudges me today for others. I want to be faithful to these nudges. Last days or not, obedience to God is my calling and our calling.
