Have you ever been so busy doing good things that you barely noticed how little time you were spending simply being with God? Sometimes our desire to serve Him faithfully can become tangled with expectations we've placed on ourselves. We keep adding responsibilities, pushing harder, and assuming that doing more means we're being more faithful. But what does Jesus actually teach about spiritual readiness? In this episode, Brenda shares a personal revelation about ministry, performance, and the importance of cultivating her relationship with God. Through Matthew 24:42–46, she explores what it means to remain spiritually attentive and faithful as we await Christ's return. Readiness is something we cultivate through our relationship with God and the way we live each day. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL DISCOVER What Jesus teaches about spiritual readiness in Matthew 24:42–46Why staying attentive involves more than maintaining religious routinesHow to recognize the difference between God-given responsibilities and self-imposed expectationsWhy faithfulness is measured by more than how much we accomplishHow familiar thinking patterns can influence our priorities and decisionsWhy remaining connected to God and other believers matters as we await Christ's return SCRIPTURE AND MIND RENEWAL Matthew 24:42–46 reminds us to remain watchful and faithful because we do not know when Jesus will return. His teaching directs our attention toward how we live and steward what has been entrusted to us. Romans 12:2 teaches us to be transformed through the renewing of our minds. Sometimes that renewal involves examining beliefs we've carried for years, including the assumption that doing more makes us more valuable or faithful. As we bring those beliefs before God, His Word helps us reconsider the expectations shaping our choices. Hebrews 10:23–25 reminds us to hold firmly to our hope, encourage one another, and remain connected with other believers. Spiritual readiness includes strengthening one another as we continue walking with Christ. YOUR RENEWAL PRACTICE: STAY READY This week, consider three areas of your life: Stay Attentive What has been receiving most of your attention lately? Are you remaining personally engaged with God as you move through your daily responsibilities? Stay Faithful Consider what God has entrusted to you in this season. Have you added expectations that are making those responsibilities heavier than they need to be? Stay Connected Are you receiving and offering encouragement within the body of Christ, or have you gradually become isolated? Choose one area to bring into an honest conversation with God this week. Then identify one faithful response you can practice. 🪔 KEEP YOUR OIL FULL: 21-DAY DEVOTIONAL Days 8–14, Stay Ready: Faithful in the Waiting, accompany this episode.
