On the Alert

It's coming! We are reminded in Mark 13:24-14:9 that the wonderful day is coming when Jesus comes in great power and glory to gather His bride. But, of course we've all heard that before - for years. So I agree it is a little hard to keep anticipating and on the alert. But He is reminding up today (three times in three verses) - stay on the alert.

 In verse 32 there is this fascinating detail: "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."  Don't you love it how Jesus is waiting on the Father to give the word to come get us. Yes!

So I'm thinking today is the time to be about His business and to get ready. Forget that culture-lazy "I'll get around to that phone call or visit or pray about that later". Who knows if there will be any time later?

What do You want today Lord? I want to be ready for You.
