So the first of the Blood Moons* have come and gone and everyone is waiting with abated breath to see whether the something major that is going to happen is really going to happen from now till 28th September 2015 😛
Whether you believe that the Blood Moons are a sign of Jesus coming for His bride or not, you can’t deny that we are indeed living in the last days. With the amount of evil parading itself as good, I am certainly glad that Jesus is coming and coming soon!
And so, it is even more critical to be found faithful and doing what we are supposed to be doing instead of running around like headless chickens. As mothers, especially stay at home mothers, we need to guard against letting the “cares of this life” (Luke 21:34a) distract us so that Day comes on us unexpectedly. (Luke 21:34b)
There are always, always things in the house that needs to be done and emails to be checked or research to be done. So how? We can’t just ignore these tasks or just hire a live-in helper.
The solution is simple and yet almost always ignored – we need to pray and ask the Lord how we are to be spending our time daily. I know when you have babies and toddlers, Quiet Time is touch and go. He also knows. Isaiah 40:11 tells us that He gently leads those with young. Our prayers need not be long and at the break of dawn 🙂 If you can, more power to you! He is looking for our hearts and He is always gracious and merciful. The more exhausted and more clueless we are about mothering, the more we need to abide in Him and call out to Him in prayer because He is the giver of strength and wisdom!
In these last days, it is critical that we do not waste our time on frivolous stuff, gossiping or watching mindless movies and shows. Let us also not worry needlessly about what will happen from now till the last blood moon’s appearance.
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Ephesians 5:16-17

Hi Serene, I just want to take this opportunity to say Thank You for your encouraging words and timely reminder. Indeed, often we were overwhelmed by the “cares of life”, and forgotten the true purpose in life!
Thank you, Corinne for dropping by!
