LOVELY is the scene before us this week. We see the two birds building their nest where they may raise their young. They are preparing ahead of time, and considering what is needed.
God says of the ants that they are a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer. They are one of four whom God terms exceeding wise.
God would have us to be preparing for the everlasting future, and He has said,
“Prepare to meet thy God.” Amos 4:12.
But one may say, What shall I do to prepare for such a moment? The Lord Jesus says,
“HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE.” John 3:36.
“Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:37.
All that is needed then, is simply to come to God through the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour—He will not refuse you, and thus you will be prepared to meet God. If you attempt to come to God in any other way, then God must refuse you, and will assign you to what you deserve, and that is everlasting banishment from His holy presence.
“He that believeth not the son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:36.
Dear reader! prepare now, if not yet prepared, for that everlasting future, by simply taking Christ as your Saviour. This is true wisdom, and the result is everlasting salvation.
