My Prayer: Psalm 27:1 (New International Version)
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
The Reading: Matthew 22-24
Matthew 24:36-40 (New International Version)
The Day and Hour Unknown
36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.
My Thoughts: I was joking (sort of) with someone a week or two ago about the only solution to one of my problems being for Jesus to just come on back. I was going to start praying for that. Of course, I have thought about it, but it doesn't really seem like a practical solution so I'm back to thinking about others (I had a slightly heated discussion with another somebody about how I shouldn't "worry" about anything but it's OK to think a lot about and try to come up with solutions which seems a little like the definition of worry but that's just this other person for you.) When I read this, I started thinking about what would happen if today were the day Jesus came back. What if today were the day? Would I be ready? No more time. This is what I've done with my life. This is what I have to show. Would I be ready? Would you?
