Being Ready For Today and Tomorrow, Whatever Comes

   This was never meant to be a prophecy blog, but somehow the Scripture passages of the three items I read this morning seem to lead in that direction. Maybe I should just let them speak for themselves.

   From the Psalm reading, from Psalm 83:

    "O God, do not keep silence;
do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
For behold, your enemies make an uproar;
those who hate you have raised their heads.

They lay crafty plans against your people;
they consult together against your treasured ones.

They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;
let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”"

   Does this not sound like the former president of Iran? Perhaps the "crafty plans" include the new head of the government there, with his more conciliatory remarks toward Israel and the West.

   Then there is this from the Gospel of Luke, chapter 4, the words of Jesus:

 “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

   Does this fit in also?

   Then what about this, from the Moravian Daily Reading for September 26:

"But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

   There must be something in all of this, since it lines up so well.

   Now I don't pretend to know all that is going on, but the implication for me in all of the passages I have quoted this morning is for me to be ready.

   I live in a day like no other, It has never come before, and I do not know the plans of God. I only know He is in control and that my only task is to serve.

   So I want to be ready to serve in whatever way He leads for this particular day, and I want to be ready for what He has in store for tomorrow also.
