FIRE BRIGADE
LUKE 21:36 Watch ye therefore and PRAY ALWAYS that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass and may be worthy to stand before the Son of Man.
Jesus was teaching His disciples to pray ALWAYS so that they could be able to face the trials that were coming. Well, the disciples opted to sleep and when the trials and temptations came, some of them betrayed him, others ran away, others denied Him then after some repented while another one killed himself.
Well, is this not what happens in our daily lives? We fail to pray always and build our spiritual faith then when trials come we succumb to them and after we find our place and stand again we start living in condemnation. Most of us Christians lead what Id call FIRE BRIGADE CHRISTIANITY lives. Like Fire brigade we become active only when there is fire. Fire here will be a crisis. We start praying only when a relative is sick, only when there is exams, only when we are in a hard situations,only when we badly need Gods help.
Lets imagine if God took care of us only when there was a crisis, or only when we go back to Him. See, He is always feeding us,looking out for us..infact the writer of Lamentations tells us that His mercies are new EVERY MORNING or rather ALWAYS!
Let's avoid being fire brigade that are only let out during crisis in our spiritual walk! Lets seek his face always.
