GET SET TO LIVE FOR THE LORD
                  
Live everyday as if it is the last day of your life is an oft heard maxim for an improved and quality living.  Quoting two disasters, Jesus cautions for our preparedness to meet the day of the Lord at any part of the time or day.  The second coming of Jesus to each of us individually would be when we finally bid ‘good bye’ to this world once and for all.  Our preparedness ensures our pursuance into that blissful eternity. 

It is inevitable to stand steadfast in God and in His commandments even when all others around us compromise with the worldly order, and yet thrive. Noah and Lot, the righteous of God lived surrounded by people who conducted their lives as though God never existed. The wrath of God consumed them but saving the families of Noah and Lot who were righteous before Him.  The Scripture says, “For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him” (2Chro. 16: 9). Do not give up hope and courage to live for the Lord. Even amidst disaster, mishap, tragedy or catastrophe His hand would already be there to save and secure His people who live by His commands. Let us in the silence of our hearts keep praying, “Lord Jesus, give me the courage to live by your command”.
