Don't presume (2 Corinthians 6 v 2 )

 We were on our way to our church fellowship ,when my wife got a phone call from her sister, her husband was very unwell,we could hear him in the background.he sounded dreadful,so  she dropped me off at the church,and went to her sisters.When she got there my wife advised her sister to call an ambulance ,which came quickly and took him to hospital,we are waiting and praying,we do not know as yet what the problem is.It all happened so unexpectantly, and it reminds me of something the Bible tells us in Proverbs 27 v 1,'Do not boast about tomorrow,for you do not know what a day may bring'. No one knows what a day may bring, that's very obvious,I'm not saying we should live in fear,but we should live in the fear of Lord,which is the beginning  of wisdom.How many people are so unwise , careless, and live so full heartedly ,not knowing God ,or wanting God, their unpreparedness is so sad, so tragic. The  Boy Scouts motto,is,'Be Prepared', which means you are always in that readiness of mind for whatever comes.  Don't presume about tomorrow ,Charles Bridges writes,' In a moment we can be gone,remember Heaven and hell are no trifles. Tomorrow presumed upon,today neglected, ruins all,at this time the door of God's mercy is still open,one day it will be closed for ever.'  I implore you to seek the Lord Jesus while He can be found,call upon Him while He is near.
