your lamps burning

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

Ephesians 2:12-22 Psalm 85:9-14 Luke 12:35-38

Luke 12:35  "Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning,

It is easy for us to think that we will get better "later".  We fall back on the saying that "I am a work in progress".  But, the Bible says that we need to be on our guard all the time.  That means right now and at all times.

Amen
