Will we be “accounted worthy”?

Have we become complacent in watching the skies for the coming of our savior? Have we allowed the “anxieties of life” to take our focus away from the imminent expectation of His return? On that glorious day, will we be “accounted worthy” to stand before the Son of Man? Or are we like the Church in Laodicea, neither cold nor hot? And because we are lukewarm, we're snared in Satan’s trap, likely to be spit out of the Lord’s mouth? Or are we Hot and Victorious and will be found worthy to sit with Jesus on the throne? Let’s make Jesus Lord of All and foul the trap that has been set for our souls! Luke 21:34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap.“ “For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Revelations 3:14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
