Not Ready, but Prepared

Man's days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed.  (Job 14:5) 

Our church Moderator often reminds us of the need to be prepared for the coming of our Lord. She admits that she is not in a hurry to die, but that she remains prepared every day. As seniors we have a responsibility to help the next generations understand that aging and death is as much a part of life as birth. There is no need to be creepy about this, it just is so. But the most important part of this life transition is helping our children and grandchildren to understand what is necessary to be prepared. Talk about your walk with God. Help them understand that the road to salvation is not rocket science and just requires an humble acceptance of a gift freely given. Share scriptures about salvation when appropriate. Answer questions about your belief. Say “I don't know” when you don't, but try to find answers in the Word.

I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.  (1 Corinthians 15:50

It is my prayer that each of us, although perhaps not ready, are prepared.

May God Forever Be a Blessing in Your Life!!!
