And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds,
and said unto them, Occupy till I come. Luke 19:13
This is from the Parable of the Talents
Occupy until I come
Don’t just sit around, dive into what He would have you do
The time is short
We won’t be here that much longer
He spake the parable because they thought that the Kingdom of Heaven should be here, now: And as they heard these things,
He added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem,
and because they thought that
the kingdom of God should immediately appear. Luke 19:11
We have to trust and be patient
God’s timing is not our timing
We live here, but prophecies of long ago,that are yet to be fulfilled,
may or may not be filled before we leave this earth
We can’t just snap our fingers or stamp our feet to make things happen
It is hard to understand God’s timing
Some things take so long
It is so hard to wait for some things
We definitely don’t want to wish for the Day of the Lord
Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you?
the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light?
even very dark, and no brightness in it? Amos 5:18-20
It will not be pretty
Let the Lord use you as He will
and use your talents for His glory while you can
The time is short so occupy until He returns
