09/03/16 MISPLACED EMPHASIS
After I wrote my previous post I realized...
Most people prepare more for the coming of Santa Claus than they prepare for the coming of Jesus
They prepare more for Old Man Winter than they prepare for, "The Ancient of Days."
They prepare more for, "A rainy day," than they prepare for the day of harvest.
They prepare more for blind date than they prepare for, "The Marriage Supper of the Lamb."
They prepare more for a day in traffic court than they prepare for the Judgment of God.
They prepare more for a family get together than they prepare for the gathering together in the sky.
They prepare more for the office party than they prepare for eternal joy.
They prepare more for a possible pop quiz than for the certain, "Fiery Trials."
They prepare more for a boat ride than they prepare for sailing into glory on "The Old Ship of Zion."
They prepare more for a flood tide than they prepare for the One Who, "Plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm."
And the list goes on.
