Today's Devotion:
"LIVE READY to GO"
Down in South Louisiana, the news was
traveling fast that there was a hurricane
coming.
The news media entitled it CRISES IN
THE GULF.
In a small community, all of a sudden,
ole Boudreaux was acting different!
He quit drinking, quit smoking, quit cursing, and
started working at the church.
He raked leaves, swept the sidewalk, and even
did some painting.
Pastor Thibedeaux went to see him and ask
about the change.
He asked, "Boudreaux, whut dis change is dat
dun overtook you?"
Boudreaux said, "Well, Bro. Pastor, I dun heard
on the news dat Chris' is in da Gulf.
And, if He dat close, I wanna be READY TO GO!"
________SCRIPTURE____________________
Matt 24:26-27
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold,
he is in the desert; go not forth:
behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and
shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming
of the Son of man be.
KJV
Mark 13:32
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no,
not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son,
but the Father.
KJV
_______THOUGHT________________________
When reading rumors about Jesus coming in the
rapture, there are two things one should know:
1) NOBODY knows the time of His coming; and,
2) BE READY!!
In Matt. 24:37-41, Jesus said that day will be like
it was in Noah's day. People will be eating, and
drinking, getting married, and giving others in
marriage.
But they didn't know about the flood until it CAME!
Jesus ended that discussion with, "Watch therefore:
for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come!"
In our text above, Matt. 24:26-27, Jesus compared
that day to be like LIGHTNING!
VERY FAST!
In 1 Thessalonians 4:17, Paul speaks of it as when
those living for Christ will be "caught up."
The Greek word is harpazo (har-pad'-zo) and means
to snatch away, or be plucked away.
The rapture WILL HAPPEN!
And, yes, it is IMMINENT - soon to happen in God's
timeline of the earth's existence.
But, we must remember: NOBODY KNOWS WHEN!
So, the best advice is from Jesus.
In Luke 12:40, Jesus said, "BE ye therefore READY!"
Sometimes life becomes so hectic and even scary
we forget to keep Jesus in the CENTER of our lives.
But the ONLY way to be READY for His appearing
is to KEEP Him in the CENTER of our living!
LIVE READY to GO!
Love ya!
