It is foolish to
barrel full-steam ahead without any idea what may lie before you. We don’t know the dangers that lie before
us. Satan is a crafty and formidable foe
and he likes to lay traps for us. He
doesn’t want us to get very far in our spiritual walk and will do all he can to
hinder us or stop us altogether. What lies
ahead for us could damage our souls severely.
Wise is he who tries
to anticipate what may lie ahead. We
obviously have no real idea what the future may hold for us, but we can take
some precautionary steps today to better prepare us for whatever we may face.
It is imperative for
the safety of our souls that we keep our eyes focused on Christ today. We must stay in close fellowship with
Him. We must learn all we can about how
to live in Him. We must consistently
work to develop a healthy relationship with Him. In order to be ready for the future, we must
be in the Word of God on a consistent basis.
We must read it, think about it, and strive to apply it to life. We must spend time in prayer
consistently. We must take the time in
prayer to worship and develop the discipline of lingering there. We must be actively serving the Lord, doing
all we can to bring Him honor among men.
We must be witnesses for Him whenever we can.
When we live in Christ today, growing in
grace and our knowledge of Him, we will be ready for whatever may lie before us
in the future. If we don’t take care of
our souls, the consequences may be severe.
An unprepared soul may face the Lord unexpectantly and then it will be
too late. Don’t go into your future
blind. Be sure your heart is right with
God. Today may very well be your last
day on earth.
