There was once a group of men on a ship traveling up the Delaware River; It was after dark, and they were just kicking back admiring the clouds which were illuminated by a great fire in the city of Philadelphia. When the ship docked, one of the men was handed a message which read "Your factory has been destroyed by a great fire". He had sat back and admired the blaze which destroyed his lively hood.
There are many today who are sitting back admiring the destruction of their lively hoods as they let the opportunity to accept Jesus in their lives pass away right before their eyes. Many are under the impression that we have forever to accept Christ, or that there will be a tomorrow. But the word of God says" The day you hear My voice, harden not your hearts". See none of us are promised a tomorrow so let us seek the Lord while he can be found, let us work while it is day. No man knows the day nor the hour when the son of man comes, so let us be ready when Jesus comes. The chance at repentance is available to everyone who hears the Gospel of Jesus Christ; that is the appointed time of salvation, that is when Jesus is getting you ready for that great day. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation to all who believes. Jesus said it shall be more tolerable for the wicked cities of Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judgment than for those who hear and reject the gospel.
Remember the ten virgins? Five were wise and five were foolish, five was ready and five thought they were ready. Are you ready? Will you be found in the darkness, or will you enter into His rest? Are you in the ark of safety? No matter what the people thought, said or believed, all that was not in the ark when the floods came perished. Are you ready?
