Matthew 24:36-44 is challenging....a powerful reminder/awakening. We often go through each day making plans for our precious life-another day/more time ahead. Scripture tells us that we are not guaranteed another hour/day-personally. We also do not know the hour that our Savior will return to take all His children home.
Perhaps some believe this to sound morbid and gloomy. As Christians,we are to look forward to this reward with anticipation and joy--that is challenging to me. We get wrapped up in our earthly life with family, friends, church, hobbies, serving. etc. While these activities are not inherently bad, we can allow them to distract our eternal focus. Scripture also tells us to be prudent and ready for our unknown appointed time. Why do we spend so much time and effort planning for our earthly life (vacations, retirement, the tomorrow's of life, careers, etc) and yet we often neglect/overlook preparing for the eternal life? To the faithful children of God, this is to be a glorious day.........to what extent do I/we truly believe this and live with an attitude that encompasses that confidence! Are you living your life in a state of readiness? Blessings in your pursuit.......TO
