Luke 12:35-40
35. Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36. And ye yourselves like unto the men that wait for their lord, whe he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself; and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known the hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

As children of God we must keep watch and keep our light burning bright. We need to share the news of Jesus with others so that they in turn can be ready also. Here is a poem titled Be Ready

Be Ready
If Jesus came to today would you be ready?
Are you keeping watch, are your footsteps steady?

Are you keeping oil in your lamp?
Has your life got Jesus' approval stamp?

Are you keeping watch through out the day?
Jesus could come at any moment, He could be on His way

Are you ready for the Good Shephard to return?
Keep your light on, for Jesus let it burn

Tell others so they can keep watch for the Master
Of His return God in Heaven is the only forcaster

Like a thief coming in the night
Jesus will return even if it is dark or light.
