Be Prepared

^{Psalm 1.}

¹ Blessed is the one

who does not walk in step with the wicked

or stand in the way that sinners take

or sit in the company of mockers,

² but whose delight is in the law of the LORD,

and who meditates on his law day and night.

³ That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,

which yields its fruit in season

and whose leaf does not wither—

whatever they do prospers.

⁴ Not so the wicked!

They are like chaff

that the wind blows away.

⁵ Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement,

nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

⁶ For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

We are wonderfully and fearfully created by God in his own image. When God first created Adam then Eve, God gave them the choice of life. They were created perfect and all God wanted in return of His creation is for them not to eat the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. However, after the temptation by the Serpent, Eve took a fruit from that tree and ate it. She gave some to Adam as well. It was a choice they made. It's the same thing for us. Everyday, we have a choice to live our day with God by our side or to live it without Him. We have a choice to follow His ways or to go to the way of the Serpent.

The ways of the Lord is always right. Follow in His past and you will never go wrong. For it is written in the psalm above, He watches over the righteous. If we live according to His words, we will prosper and He will bring us out of wickedness. God is with those who follows Him. It's the same way with man. We will not help friends that don't listen to us. If we do not listen to God, He can't and will not be with us.

2 Peter 3

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.

¹¹ Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives ¹² as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. ¹³ But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

¹⁴ So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. ¹⁵ Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. ¹⁶ He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

¹⁷ Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. ¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

Just like it is written in this scripture, God comes in the hour that we don't expect the most. So do not waste our days chasing for earthly things but prepare ourselves to the heaven above. Because we do not want to waste the opportunity when it comes. Just like Noah in Genesis 6, he did not expect the flood but because he is prepared all the time in serving the Lord, he was favoured by the Lord and was kept safe from the flood that swept away all living things on earth. Just like Noah, we ought to be prepared all the time. No matter what day or month or year it is, we ought to live it for the Lord.
