Surprise

As I showed up on the doorstep of an old friend's house I heard the same old excuse I had heard before. "Oh I didn't know you were coming I would have been ready. I would have cleaned first.  It's not my fault things are in the condition they are because I didn't know you would be coming."

Someday Jesus is going to drop in for a surprise visit and we have to be ready. We won't get to use the excuse that it's not our fault because He surprised us. God warns us in the Bible that He is coming like a thief in the night and we better be ready. Our spiritual lives need to be in order. We better have been living according to God's word and walking obediently in His ways.

There will be no time to hide what we are doing. All will be exposed and our ticket to our eternal destination of heaven or hell already purchased by the choices we made in life. There will be no time to exchange our flight plans. Bottom line is we need to be ready. We need to be making right choices in the first place then only the hour of Christ's arrival will come as a surprise.
