Once a friend suddenly buried his fist in my stomach. As I stood there, gasping for air, he smiled and said, "You've got to live ready, brother; live ready."
I wonder, today, if you are living ready--ready to breath your last breath and meet your Maker. Ponder this quote from long ago:
"My religious beliefs teach me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time of my death. I do not concern myself with that, but to be always ready whenever it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and all men would be equally brave."
~ General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson
God has determined the number of days you and I will have here on the earth. Jim Elliot said that he didn't want to live a long life, but a full one. How about you? Are you living ready? Are you living a full life, making sure the lost around you are hearing the gospel?
I urge you to consider the words of 1 Peter 4:7--"But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers." Please, also pray for us that we would, day-by-day, boldy make the gospel known to as many as we can.
