When You Least Expect... - Lk 17:20

"The Kingdom of God isn't ushered in with visible signs. You won't be able to say, `Here it is!' or, `It's over there!' For the Kingdom of God is amoung you." Lk 17:20

Well, this then is the major deception, isn't it? The world believes that this life is a time to eat, drink and be merry -- and if anything about God were really real, it would be sometime after some supernatural event took place, or even after they die; but now is definitely not the time to worry about it, we have a life to live! The reality of it all was spelled out by Jesus in Jn. 3:3, "I assure you, unless you are born again, you can never see the Kingdom of God." Bottom line: The decisions you make during this life are ALL that really matter; if you wait, you risk being one of those outside of Noah's ark when the flood comes. And it will come, on a day like any other...

God, show me how, and what it means, to live everyday like it might be my last.
