Daily Word

Watch and pray
Psalm 1:1-2
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law doth he meditate day and night.

To watch, I believe involves being careful about what we do. The passage above says, do not take advice from people who do not believe in God (ungodly). Furthermore, do not associate with people (sinners and the scornful) who lead you away from God. Instead, study the word and do what it says and you will be blessed.

Matthew 26:41
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Apart from being cautious about those you associate with, studying and obeying the word, you also have to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), so that you do not fall into temptation. Watching and praying will help you prepare for the second coming of the Lord.
God be with you.

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Find time to pray and study the word each day. In the morning when you wake up and before you sleep each night.
2. Make a conscious effort to practice what you learn from the word.

Prayer
Lord and Master, may your name be glorified each day. Help me prepare adequately for the second coming of the Lord. Amen.
