Be Prepared

Luke 12:35  

"Let your loins be girded about, 

and your lights burning;"   

        No man can tell the day or the hour when eternity will invade time and summons will come. How, then, would we like God to find us?  We would like him to find us with our work completed. Life for so many of us is filled with loose ends. There are things undone and things half done; things put off and things not even attempted. Great men have always the sense of a task that must be finished. 

        Jesus himself said, "I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do." (John 17:4).  No man should ever lightly leave undone a task he ought to have finished, before night falls. We would like God to find us at peace with our fellowmen. It would be a haunting thing to pass from this world at bitterness with a friend or a loved one. No man should let the sun go down on his anger, least of all the last sun of all, and we never know which sun that will be. We would like God to find us at peace with himself. It will make all the difference to know in our own hearts whether we are going out to a stranger or an enemy, or going to fall asleep in the arms of God.

        My Friends, I pray that until the time comes when we awake no more; that all our lights for Jesus Christ Can be seen from every corner of this evil world. Be Prepared, Today could be The Day!
