Let us be prepared to meet the Lord when He comes.
“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:3
This is the fate of the people of this world at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Every person today, on this earth, is fighting for peace, safety and security, and trying to find meaning for life by looking elsewhere and not on their Creator.
The coming of the Lord is at hand. ‘The day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night’ and no one knows the time or day of when the Lord will come. We are to be prepared at all times. We are to be reminded that our peace and safety rests only on the Savior. The only thing that matters in the end is what we did for the Lord, and what treasures we stored up in Heaven, rather than what we saved up here on earth.
Are you prepared for His coming? Are you ready to meet Him face to face and to revel in His glory? Or are you seeking peace and security on this earth where there is no escape?
