Prepared 2

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1 Corinthians 15:51,52

My husband and I are going on a road trip.  My list has been made of all I need to do before we leave, while we are away, and even the things I need to do as soon as we return.  Our route has been planned, hotel reservations made, clothes, toiletries and even food for the car has all been packed and we are ready to go.

I like to be prepared.  

Jesus tells us to be prepared for His Coming.  

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.  

1 Thessalonians 5:2

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; 2 Peter 3:10a

Not only are we prepared to go, but our family is also preparing for our arrival!  They are getting things ready!

Jesus is preparing for us too.

"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."  Jesus speaking, John 14:1-3

Friend, are you prepared?

Do you know without a shadow of doubt that when you die, you will be in heaven with the Lord?  If the Lord returned today, would you meet Him in the air?

If so, are you preparing others?  Do you witness to your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers?

Whenever we leave for a trip, as we are getting into our vehicle, my husband always asks, "Are you all set?  Do you have everything you need?"  I just smile, and say, "Yep, I'm ready!"

I'm prepared.

    I want you to be prepared too.

        But that's just me!
