For a while now the talk of "getting ready" is the ticket of
conversation among Christian circles. Yet what I have been
personally experiencing is well intentioned, sincere Christians
falling down under the weight of "getting ready." They set out on
a some kind of new course to spiritually prepare themselves right
away because of the knowledge of the imminent return of Jesus
Christ.   Now let me pause for a moment to say there is
an expectation I believe that the Lord has that we all stop and
become spiritually sober. 


Where we honestly take a good look at our lives as we walk along
the narrow road. Taking the proper thorough steps of "examining
ourselves to see if we be in the faith."   But the
reality is God does not expect us to stay in that same place of
constant check listing faults and minute failures. This is what
is causing many Believers to fall down under self imposed burdens
they have heaped upon themselves that God never intended for
them. The end result is they lose joy, the happy confidence in
Jesus Christ, and condemn themselves as unworthy, and say things
like, "Well, I hope when Christ comes again He will let me go
with Him."  


In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus fell down and began to be full
of heaviness and unbearable sorrow. He prayed to the Father "with
loud cries and tears unto Him that was able to save Him from
death." It says His disciples "slept for sorrow." I believe they
were so overwhelmed and grieved they just slept. But Jesus said
to them in Marks gospel, "Watch and pray that ye enter not into
temptation. For the Spirit is truly ready, but the flesh is
weak."   Matthew records the same thing but a bit
differently, "Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation.
For the Spirit is indeed willing but the flesh is weak." You may
be in a turmoil right now and in a hard place, but "the Spirit is
truly ready," and He is" indeed willing" even now. Right this
very minute! 


You see, truly ready people are always ready. They may check list
some things in their lives to clear themselves with the Lord from
time to time, but they always live in a constant readiness along
with the truly ready Holy Spirit. What is too heavy for you, let
the Holy Spirit's strength, power and comfort perform what you
find you are too weak to do. Let go of what you cannot do or
change. Lean on the everlasting arms. He will make you ready in
ways that are no burden or heaviness at all. Trust the always
ready and willing Lord who smooths the road before you and clears
your skies.
