When the president leaves the nation’s capital, a large part of his office goes with him. Before he arrives at his destination, an enormous amount of work has to be done in advance.
A massive communication center is set up prior to his arrival. In a sense, the President is never off duty or unable to know what is going on anywhere in the world.
Even when the president flies on Air Force One, he is equipped with every known piece of equipment he might need to keep constantly in touch with everything.
When the president arrives at his destination, his own armor-plated automobile awaits him.
Just as we learn of this information about our president and the preparation that is made on his behalf, we have a scripture that shows our Lord is preparing for His faithful. We look around and don’t see what God is preparing for our future arrival.
John 14:2-3 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
It is difficult for me to understand how someone could want to live with God forever and yet they don’t want to live with His commandments today.
We need to reflect on what has gone on before we even were born and what is continuing to go on in preparation for that great day when we will hear Him say, “Enter thou good and faithful servant.” Matthew 25:21
All the work has been prepared for your arrival. All the communication about how to enter has been given...
He has never been out of touch with us and our lives. We may not have always been in touch with Him, but it is not because He was off duty – but because we were off duty... Are you ready for the arrival? If not, why not?
