THE END IS NEAR!

“Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed.” (Revelation 16:15 NLT) Recently we saw a group of people standing by the Mayan Ruins in Mexico waiting for the end of time. Based on their predictions - the world as we know it was to end and be over. Over my lifetime I have seen many such groups make and remake their predictions of the end of time and the when the second coming of Christ would be. And, again and again, they have proven to be false because those predictions didn't happen. Here's the thing - the Bible is specific with this fact - No one knows the exact time or hour of when Christ is returning and He could come anytime. We need to live everyday as if he is coming for His children today. We need to be "watching" and to be ready for that great event. Yes, the world is coming to an end but until that time - let's walk fully with the Lord and in His provisions and promises for our lives right now. Don't be fooled by the fact that He hasn't come in the past and He won't be coming in the future. He is coming back for His children and He has prepared a place in heaven for us. Keep your heart diligent so you won't miss it when He does return. Who knows - 2013 could be the year!
