People Get Ready

scripture

Matthew 24:30 “At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

36 “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

observation

Ready or not here he comes, but you won’t know it until it is too late, Jesus will come back and his angels will gather up his sheep.

Like I said it will be too late just like it was in the days of Noah when it was business as usual until water started falling from the sky for the first time and then maybe somebody thought about Noah’s warning. I think that by the time it got up over their knees then everybody believed Noah.

Don’t think that you have any spare time at all to get right with your creator, which is a lie from Satan. Don’t be left behind with “all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.”

application

We must all be ready. If you are not ready then get ready immediately because you don’t even know if you will have another chance.

prayer

I thank you Lord that you want to have an intimate relationship with us and that some day when we are with you in glory that relationship will become what you intended for it to be. I pray for opportunities to share with my coworkers about their greatest need.
