“The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD” (Proverbs 16:1 KJV). God looks not at the outward, but the heart. We take strides to be prepared for emergencies, only to find our attempts often fall short. Yet, when Jesus rallies us, “Be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh” (Matthew 24:44), it is only because readiness is a command not optional. And, God’s commands are never impossible (1John 5:3). If we are in preparation for tomorrow, already we are in a right state of heart. Only God’s Spirit is able to make us walk in obedience today and keep us ready tomorrow. “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). Father, may we aspire to walk in a right hearted state, ready for Your Son’s soon appearing. Cause our understanding and appreciation of You to grow that it may answer all the practical needs for our walk and holiness. Lord Jesus, return quickly. Amen and amen.
