In today's first reading from 1 Thessalonians 5, Paul reminded the Thessalonians that the day of the Lord would come like a thief at night. Therefore, they must not sleep, but stay alert and sober. I am thinking that if we knew the exact day of the Lord's coming, most likely we'd slack off and not get ready until he's about to show up. This wouldn't be good for us! The proper way is to live every day as if it's our last day on earth, then it won't matter when the Lord is going to come. We focus upon loving and serving the Lord every moment in peace and with joy, knowing that the very best is to come.
