SCRIPTURE

"Be thou watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine perfected before my God." — Revelation 3:2 (ASV)

Be watchful.—Rather, become wakeful. It is not enough simply to rouse and sleepily grasp at their spiritual weapons, or even to stand armed just once; you must develop a wakeful habit. Strengthen the remaining things which were (when I roused you) about to die; for I have not found your (or, any of your) works perfect—completed or fulfilled, fully done in weight, count, and measure—before my God.
