Dear Young Christian,
As I begin writing these calendar pages, I am in South Carolina making plans for a conference in France later in the year. Just before coming here, I was in western Kentucky making plans for a young people’s camp next month. I have booked several flights this week and hope to be here and there for various activities in the next few weeks. Yes, I also expect the Lord to come at any moment, and I love the promise that states, “Behold, I come quickly” (Revelation 3:11).
As this year begins to slip away, one thing is for certain — the coming of the Lord is closer than it has ever been. However, we still need to make plans and live our lives from day to day. We are exhorted, “Occupy till I come” (Luke 19:13). So as you map out your weeks and years, remember, we need to make plans, but as we do so we need to always keep in mind that those plans may be interrupted at any moment by the Lord’s coming, which will summon us safe home to the Father’s house.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
