DAY THREE: Be Ready to Go  

When I leave on a trip, I always pack my bag the night before so I can be ready. That’s the idea, here. That we, in a sense, should have our bags packed, and sitting close to the door in easy reach. Why? Because we could leave this world at any moment.

So here is a question I ought to ask myself periodically. When I am about to go to a certain place or do a certain thing, would I be embarrassed if Jesus came back when I was right in the middle of it? If the answer to that question is yes, then it would be best for me to refrain from doing that activity or going to that place. The truth is, we can study Bible prophesy all day long and can get excited about it, but if it isn’t impacting us in the way that we live, then we’re simply missing the point.

Stay ready. Stay steady. That doesn’t mean that we are standing around on street corners staring up into the sky like a bunch of idiots. But what it does mean is that we hold onto the awareness that Christ could return at any time. And living in the light of Christ’s imminent return should make a difference in our behavior.
