I don’t know about you but everywhere I turned around (Internet, radio, tv, etc.), I saw the words, “Are you prepared?” and “Are you ready?” because Hurricane Irene was the center of conversation. Most of us went to the store to buy water, food, batteries, generators and many other things. But, let me ask you……….
Are you prepared? Are you truly ready? Not for Hurricane Irene but for the coming of Jesus. One thing for sure is that Jesus is coming back. If Jesus would come back today, would you be ready?
Before you give a “yes” or “no” answer, you want to focus on yourself. As it says in 2 Corinthians 13:5, examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. And, you don’t want to make excuses by comparing yourself to other people by looking at the speck in your brother’s eye, but will not consider the plank in own eye (Matthew 7:3).
Take the time to honestly ask yourself, Am I free of unforgiveness, pride, resentment, envy, selfishness, lying, stealing…..? The list can go on and on…………………
Back to the original question…….Are you prepared? Are you ready? If your answer is “yes”, then continue to develop a deeper relationship with God and help others do the same along the way. However, if your answer is “no”, then start reading, studying, and living according to His word.
And, hopefully, you will talk about the goodness of God just as much if not more than Hurricane Irene………Do me a favor and leave a comment below and share your thoughts.
