Prepared and Ready

Has your house or car ever been broken into? Has your wallet or purse ever been stolen? Knowing what you know now, what would you have done differently to prepare for or prevent the incident?

A lady in one of my Bible studies had her car broken into one Friday night this year. They broke her window and grabbed her satchel. It contained her Bible and Bible study materials. She thought the robber might drop the bag somewhere once they found out it didn’t have anything of monetary value in it. However, she never found it. Her husband was especially not happy, because he had regularly reminded her not to leave any bag or anything visible in the car. Obviously, she’ll be more likely to remember that now! (Plus, maybe we’ll find out in Heaven that God used the Bible and Bible study materials in the life of the thief!)

Matthew 24:42-44      42 “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.

If Jesus were to come back today, would you and I be prepared? Would we be ready?
Would there be anything we wish we would have done or said or prioritized differently?
We can start right now to be better prepared and ready! One sure way is by studying and applying God’s Word to truly know Him!
