Whenever He calls....

"WATCH THEREFORE, FOR YE KNOW NEITHER THE DAY NOR THE HOUR WHEREIN THE SON OF MAN COMETH."Matthew 25:13



I am reminded of this scripture today as I plan for the rest of my week. I like to set forth a plan of progress for my week, however; I always find myself cramming everything to do in a couple of days or hours. How many of you do the same? I have known for days, sometimes weeks what I have to do, what I need to accomplish, and why I need to. I do set goals to achieve, its the action plan that seems to get crammed into the last minutes. I have talked to several people over the last couple of days, each one of them are hoping for a quick return on their income taxes, however; they have chose to wait til the last minute to put together receipts, income statements, expense reports, and etc... I wonder how they will fair? Have you ever done that? Jesus tells us to be ready for His return because it may happen at any time. Are you ready?

If you read the writings of the Apostle Paul, you will learn that he wanted to always be ready for Christ's return. Paul was not a citizen of earth trying to get to heaven. He was a citizen of heaven only sojourning here on earth. And he was ready to go whenever God called.

Prayerfully read Matthew 10:37-39, 1 Corinthians 7:29-31 and 2 Timothy 2:15. Are you willing (and ready) to go anywhere, to do anything God asks of you? God may not call you to go anywhere or He may even call you home, but if He did, would you go? Are you ready to go?
