“And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.” (Mark 13: 37)

This is for all of us. Jesus may have been speaking directly to his disciples, but he made it clear that we all must watch.

What is this watch? Well, we are certainly watching again evil, against hate, against tyranny, against injustice. We are being alert to the subtle way that our own thought can be influenced to turn away from God, good, and to turn toward selfishness, fear, and a herd mentality that can carry us along with unchallenged beliefs.

It also means, though, that we are watching for something. We are conscious, awake to the angel thoughts and ideas and actions that are going on. We are watching, not with fear and dread and paranoia, but with an expectation of seeing wonderful goodness revealed—healing, peace, justice, light!

To watch means to be on the lookout, vigilant, a sentinel at his post, ready to spot the danger and to make sure its threat is handled. And we handle it by calling in the troops—by leaning on and utilizing the qualities of God that deny entrance of the enemy. It is recognizing the omnipotence of God and refusing to believe in another power. It is loving, loving, loving, when hate seems to want to get us to change sides.

Let’s watch without fear. Let’s watch, knowing that we are not trying to stay awake to do some gloomy duty. We are staying alert because we really want to fully witness the beautiful sunlight of God’s healing goodness dawn for us and our world.
