“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time will come.”  (Mark 13:33)  We all take things for granted.  In particular, we take time for granted.  We make our lives too busy.  We plan our time, our days, weeks, months, even years in advance.  Remember, our time on earth is a gift.  None of us knows how long we will be here.  Start today and begin thanking God for each and every day.  Take time in silence, every day, and listen to how God is calling you right now to help build His kingdom on earth.

“Mirad, velad y orad; porque no sabéis cuándo llegará el momento". (MARCOS 13:33)  Todos damos las cosas por sentado. En particular, damos el tiempo por sentado. Tenemos nuestras vidas demasiado ocupadas. Planificamos nuestro tiempo, nuestros días, semanas, meses e incluso años por adelantado. Recuerde, nuestro tiempo en la tierra es un regalo. Ninguno de nosotros sabe cuánto tiempo estaremos aquí. Empiece hoy y comience a agradecer a Dios por cada día. Tómate un tiempo en silencio, todos los días, y escucha cómo Dios te está llamando ahora mismo para ayudar a construir Su reino en la tierra.
