Are You Ready?

I have about 10 minutes to write this post. If I don’t get it done, will my life be any worse? No, probably not. Will I feel that I’ve not accomplished something? Yes, definitely! This morning I was reminded that Jesus could come at any moment — in the twinkling of an eye. When I’m caught up in the clouds with my Lord, will I be saying, “Wait! I have to finish that post!” or “Wait, can I take a moment to be sure all the ladies on my email lists are saved?” No, I can’t do that. Will I even want to? Probably.

If I feel I can’t leave these things, maybe they are too precious to me. Or, maybe I’ve not been doing the job that God has set before me. Perhaps I haven’t been telling enough people about Him. Or perhaps I feel He can’t do things without me — like I’m the only person who can do the job, and if I don’t do it then God’s plans will not come to fruition.

Ha! I can’t believe I think that highly of myself! But, seriously… are there things in my life that I’m leaving ‘undone’ that I’ll regret not doing if I’m called away from this life tomorrow… or later today… or in a few minutes? This is what I’ll be thinking about over the next few hours.

How about you? Are you ready?
