Luke 12:40 says, “Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.”

Friend, if there’s one thing life has taught me, it’s that we don’t always get a heads-up before the big moments arrive. Babies don’t wait for the perfect time to be born. Storms don’t call ahead before they roll in. And Jesus? He’s not going to send a calendar invite before He comes back.

That’s why the Lord tells us to be ready. Not “get ready later,” not “plan to be ready someday,” but be ready now. That means living every day like it could be the day we see Him face to face. It means keeping short accounts with God—confessing sin quickly, loving people fully, and staying faithful in the little things.

Because here’s the truth: when you’re ready, His return is not a fear—it’s a joy. It’s not a surprise that catches you off guard—it’s the homecoming you’ve been longing for. So today, live like the King is coming… because He is. And when that moment comes, you’ll be glad you were ready.

That’s not just a warning—it’s a promise worth getting excited about.
