If
you were at the Airport Terminal with your bags packed and your
ticket in hand would you throw those things aside and grab a taxi and
head back home to start a "makeover?" Would you tear down
and build a bigger home and plant an orchard? Or start making plans
for more training on how to build your career? Not really! Not if
your mind and your heart were set, fixed, and determined to make the
trip of your life. Say, a trip to your final destination, to the
place that Jesus has gone to prepare for you.
Now
mind you, we don’t know when the call will come to leave this earth
but we can see all the signals are giving the go-ahead. Even if there
is a delay at the airport, you don’t go back home. You stay sitting
on ready because when the call is given you must be READY!
Are
we getting ready? Many distractions will come to us in many different
forms. This is our great challenge, to NOT become entangled with the
affairs of this life when we see that day fast approaching. Galatians
5:1, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath
made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."
The affairs of this world can become a bondage to us, distracting us
from our ultimate goal.
The
call for all of God's people is about to happen. For all those
"Departing" this sinful world, the call is about to be
made. We are going HOME! 1Peter 4:7 "but the end of all things
is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer." We
must be vigilant, alert, and listening for his call. Don't allow the
sounds of Distractions to cause you to miss the Sound of His
Coming...Be Ready!
