Be Prepared

In Luke 21:34 Christ issues a warning saying: “And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.”

            Like I mentioned in last week’s blog post, there are countless things to occupy our time with. Many of these things are good and even necessary, but it is all too easy to get caught up in day-to-day things of the world. They become so important to us that they consume our thoughts and efforts.

            Because of this we loose sight of what has eternal significance and is most important. That is becoming a Christ like individual who is constantly striving to become a better person. He doesn’t want us to be careless with our precious time here on earth and waste this life with worldly pursuits and cares.

            None of us know when He will come again. We don’t know if it will be in our lifetime or if we will be long gone from this earth, but either way is beside the point. We need to be working on ourselves now and focusing our life on the Savior so we can become as much like Him as possible.
