One Day Closer

In Rom 13:11-12, Paul reveals that the last days are closer than you think.  How true this statement is.  One can truly say that we are living in the last days and each day we live is one day closer.  No time in history has the whole world been in such a state as it is at this time.  Th systems for the rise of the anti-christ are in place.  We should be ready for the coming of the Lord.  The day of the Lord will come like a thief.  Yet we who believe and are ready for the coming of the Lord will not be surprised.  Jesus said, "that no man knows the day or the hour but He warns us to be ready.  I remember a story about a preacher who every morning would look out his window and say, "Lord you may come this day, I pray that I will be ready."  Then every night he would look out the window and say, "Lord if you come tonight, let me be ready."  I hope this is your prayer and also that you would be like the children of Israel, in the land of the Exodus.  Moses told them to be ready to leave at a moment's notice.  It trust you will be ready.  Like the old saying when we played hide and seek.  "Ready or not here, I come."  Your promises are:  Matt 11:24, 21:22, Mark 9:23, 16:16, John 1:12, 6:15.  Your Insightful Sayings are:  Communication is the key to strong friendships and marriages.  So keep your messages clear and simple.  Words have the power to heal or destroy so choose your words well.
