Hello, my friends and welcome back to The Morning Mindset.

I hope you are ready today to get your mind aligned with the truth of God.

If you are new to The Morning Mindset, I welcome you especially.

I'm thankful you're joining us.

We are just at the beginning of celebrating what's called the Advent season.

It's a time of anticipation and of cleansing and of preparation for Christmas day when

Jesus celebrated birth coming as a child is a reflection of what we're also anticipating

at the end of the world when Jesus returns.

And it's getting our hearts ready for those events.

Today, we're going to be talking about the admonition Jesus gives us to stay awake until

the time that he returns.

But before we get there, I just wanted to point out to you as Christmas is approaching

and it's the time of us giving gifts.

There are t-shirts available in The Morning Mindset store that you might want to consider.

These are bold statements of your faith in Christ that you could wear to demonstrate how

you are working to keep your mind aligned.

We have one that's called 24-7365 Christ follower that seems to be very popular.

Many people are buying it recently.

So anyway, check that out.

You can find it at carrygreen.com slash merch, M-E-R-C-H.

All right, today we're looking at Mark chapter 13, verses 33-37.

These words are spoken by Jesus to His disciples.
