Matthew 25:4
Though the world sees it as foolishness, there is much comfort in the prepared state of the Christian life. When we live a prepared life, a life that is always in tune with the eternal, we are ready for every eventuality. Death may not take us unprepared. Judgment may not fall upon us. God’s wrath is not our destiny. No scheme of man can be a final end to our hope. Thus, living prepared, is living ready to go. Without this state, the circumstances of life are an endless barrage of unexpectedness. The curves of life throw us under the bus, so to speak. With this preparedness in place, we live life instead of life living us. It is the difference between a temporary human living a transitory life, and a citizen of heaven living part of our existence here on earth. This life is, for the prepared, only a part of the overall picture. It is but a temporary home.
