My brother was a full-time master sergeant in the National Guards. His superiors sent a group of old sergeants for special training. Stopping for a break on a hike, he teased a southern friend he had made.
He told him, “My dad always said, ‘Son, keep your rifle clean because one of these days the South will rise again.’”
This soldier had a sense of humor, but the need to be ready is something the Bible mentions many times.
Therefore, you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
Do you practice readiness? Give it some thought.
