“Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken, the other left. Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left. So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming. Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into. You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.” Matthew 24:40-44 NLT
Famous is always ready to go outside. He may be ready to take a walk. He might choose just to sit in front of the house and take in the sights and smells of the great outdoors. He could be hoping to finally catch one of the pesky squirrels that run along the top of our fence. But given the invitation to go beyond the door, he is quick to be at my side. You might say his time in the house, as comfortable as it can be, is just his waiting until once again he is out under the sun, moon, and stars.
Just as Famous is always prepared to see what lies beyond the front door, we should always be prepared to see what awaits us beyond this lifetime. If we become too comfortable in this world, we become less diligent in our preparations for the eternal life God has promised to us.
I want to be ready to respond to the moving of the Holy Spirit in my every day and when He finally comes to take me home.
