Planning ahead for what has been given as an opportunity.
Have you ever had someone in this world give you an opportunity to have or do sometime in the future?
Something that may seem farfetched almost imposable?
And your response was I don’t want to think about or talk about that right now,
it will distract me from what I am doing mow,
and it may not even happen,
and I would be disappointed.
Kind of like the saying “seeing is believing”
A statement straight from satin himself to form doubt in the mind of the believer.
But that seems to be the attitude of a lot who use the title Christian now days.
Even of a few i know who go by the title pasters.
Sad situation if this is your mind set,
Honestly it is a dangers way of looking at things.
We are to come to the LORD as children,
The faith of a child is simple pure faith,
Not doubting but full acceptance,
(it was said and it will happen type attitude)
The faith of a child:
faith like a child here is a wonderful thing,
makes it so much smother to go throw life without worry,
to walk in peace, to have true joy,
and as was mentioned the other have fun.
Christ Jesus said He will return for His bride the Church,
And He will, we are even told what to look for as to when that time will come.
Matthew 24:36-39
But of that day and hour no one knows,
not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son,
but the Father alone.
For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.
For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noah entered the ark,
and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away;
so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Are you paying attention to the sings of the times?
Or are you to busy playing with the world?
And worrying about tomorrow.
You tell a child on Monday that on Saturday you will take them to the circus
and they will plan for it all week,
when Saturday they will get up expecting to go.
Tell them next month we will go camping
and they will spend the month getting ready to go,
and on that day, they will get up and expect to go camping.
Christ Jesus has not told us the day,
No He has not given us the day nor the hour,
but He has given us the sings to look for.
The question you have to ask your self is:
Am I looking for the Lord’s return?
will I be ready to meet Him in the clouds?
Will I be one of the wise (the prudent) or one of the foolish?
Matthew 24:29-51
“But immediately after the tribulation of those days
THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT,
AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky,
and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky,
and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn,
and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY
with power and great glory.
And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET
and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds,
from one end of the sky to the other.
Now learn the parable from the fig tree:
when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves,
you know that summer is near; so, you too,
when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.
Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
Heaven and earth will pass away,
but My words will not pass away.
But of that day and hour no one knows,
not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son,
but the Father alone.
For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.
For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noah entered the ark,
and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away;
so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Then there will be two men in the field;
one will be taken and one will be
Two women will be grinding at the mill;
one will be taken and one will be left.
Be Ready for His Coming
Therefore, be on the alert,
for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.
But be sure of this,
that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming,
he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
For this reason you also must be ready;
for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.
Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time?
Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.
Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
But if that evil slave says in his heart,
‘My master is not coming for a long time,’
and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards;
the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know,
and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites;
in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Want a bigger view of what to look for and what will take place on that day?
Then read all of Matthew 24 and 25.
Read the books of the profits in the Old Testament
Want to know what will take place before and after that day?
Go read Revelation.
Interested in being prepared?
Read the Bible.
For Christ Jesus said He will return and He will.
The question is will you have the faith of a child, and be ready.
