January 14, 2025

When Richard’s dad passed away, he and his sister inherited some commercial property in the next town. With it being a short distance, there was no way to keep close tabs on it, so we installed cameras. Yesterday, a homeless man wandered onto the property, thinking he had found a good place to set up camp for the night. Unbeknownst to him, there was a camera pointed directly at him. Of course, Richard called the police because we were too far away to handle the situation ourselves, and you never know how someone will react when forced to leave. He was comfortable, thinking he had found peace and safety, and he spread all his bags around him, getting ready to hunker down for the night. Suddenly, the police showed up. I began praying for the policeperson because the man was quite belligerent because he was being removed from the premises. 

Imagine the day of Jesus’s return and all the people living peaceful lives without expecting sudden destruction. It will be much like this man who thought he was safe, but unless the grace of God saves them through Jesus Christ our Lord, their end will come, and they will be escorted off the property that belongs to God’s children. As God’s children, we are taught to watch and prepare for Jesus’s return, but because we don’t know exactly when, we should always be ready. Are you ready? The signs are there, and it could take place at any time. Don’t get too comfortable.


For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4
