When we plan on doing something, we usually prepare in advance so that nothing will go wrong. When going on a trip, we may need a map, make reservations and take along some money. We prepare for school by doing our homework and laying out clothing for the next day. If we have to go to the grocery store, preparing a list of food items needed is helpful. We are constantly preparing for what we want to do next.
Do you know that God is also preparing things for us? Yes, sometimes we do not know what it is, but He does! Perhaps it is sickness or an accident. How do you prepare for that? The Father loves His children and will provide what is needed when the time comes. God also has a place for those who do not love Him. It was prepared for angels that sinned, but it will be shared by those who did not “prepare to meet [their] God.” How foolish it is to make every preparation for this life and yet not be prepared for the life to come. The Lord Jesus is preparing an eternal home above for all those who trust in Him.
