Matthew 24:42,44 reads "Keep awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming....You must always be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour."
These words of Jesus make clear that He will return to earth when we least expect Him, and we must always be alert and ready. It's a little like the fireman at the station, having everything in readiness so when the alarm sounds he can jump into his boots and protective clothing and go to put out the fire, saving those who may be trapped among the flames.
God wants us to always be ready to share the Good News of the Gospel in any circumstance in which one might find one's self. There's no time to get ready when the Master calls; one must always be ready. What shall we say? What will we do? We must pray now in preparation that the Holy Spirit will bring the right words and actions when needed.
Lord God, prepare us today for each of us to have a ready heart for that moment when Jesus is needed. Amen.
The Holy Spirit will answer! He will prepare you and He will be there!
Jo INMN
