Spiritual Protection: Being Ready for Life's Unexpected Moments
Why do we protect ourselves with seat belts when driving, helmets and boots when riding and life jackets when on the water? It’s so we are ready when the unexpected comes. Right? When we wear these protective devices, they don’t restrict us from enjoying the activity we’re are choosing, rather it enables us to enjoy what we are doing and feel protected. Being safe allows us to keep doing what we are doing. Dig?The same is true for the Christian faith. Many people believe becoming a Christian will restrict them from living a satisfying life. Nothing could be further from the truth! When you belong to Jesus, He’s the One who enables you to live life as it was intended, or in His words, “life to the full.” John 10-10More dangerous than riding Motocross, driving in Atlanta or going inverted on your airplane is living life without Him. My advice to you is to be prepared to meet Him at any moment because no one knows when that day will be. “Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”Matthew 24:44 I’m ready, are you?Be nice. Grace wins.
