Preparation
Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and
receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be
also.
Every Year, We go to our annual Camp meeting in Portland. I have gained a
reputation for preparing our suitcases several weeks ahead. My husband gets
frustrated when it gets down to the last week or two before we go He can’t find
items that are usually in the bathroom or closet. Why do I do this? I am so
excited to go. All my thoughts, everything I do is focused on being prepared. I
can hardly think of anything else. I am so excited about going. Everywhere, I
have lists , so I don’t forget one thing.
I am excited about being ready for my Saviour. He has prepared a place for
me. I know that it will be well planned. It will be more than I can imagine. I
want to prepare to be ready when He calls me.
To prepare is to make ready: to make something ready for use or action, or
for a particular event or purpose. I want to prepare myself to be watching and
waiting for His soon return. I know when camp meeting will be and I know when I
will be leaving. Knowing this makes it easy for me.
In Mat 25:13 tells us Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour
wherein the Son of man cometh.
I don’t know the day or hour when Jesus will return. I need to make sure
first that my preparations are made ahead of time. I want to know my sins have
been forgiven. I need to be walking daily with the Lord .
I am excited to be going to camp. I am more excited about going to Heaven.
I want to be well-prepared!
