Today... standing on the side of the road spinning a "Judgement Day May 21, 2011" sign, is a little old man. Full of tremendous energy for his age, he must be thinking I only have to do this for a few more days, and then.... There is so much to be said in the "and then."
That is Saturday!? So much to do so little time! If Saturday is the day... what am I doing messing around on fb, updating status or even taking care of things? Why shower, shave or even brush my teeth? Why pay bills or clean house? What am I doing just sitting around? Is the old dude crazy for sign spinning or am I crazy for sitting here? Quit jobs, spend all your money, run up your credit card... if Saturday is The Day, is it party time? Perhaps we should party like rock stars for the next few days? Or should we run to the local church and spend our final days in worship with other believers? or
"whatchya gonna do when He comes for you...bad boys bad boys."
Then I wonder: is there a resurection ap? Will my "status" be auto updated? The trumpet sounds and thousands of believers grab their smart phones... "wait a second Jesus i have to update." Perhaps like four square, the status will be updated automatically: "John and x-number of believers checked into Heaven." I wonder how far into the atmosphere the cell towers will recieve updates. Which believer will post the highest accension photo? Who will post the accension first? Wait.... who cares? We are going! or Not?
The old crazy dude's sign says Saturday, but the Bible says:
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know what day your Lord will come." (Mt 24:42)
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour" (Mt 25:13)
Is there an updated version of Mt 24-25 that I missed?
No one KNOWS the day....
It could be Saturday it could be today... we do NOT know. But like this little old crazy dancing dude, I wonder how I am spending my LAST days. Am I spending too much time, updating and upkeeping? Should I be dancing and spinning the message that there is a God, who loves You, He gave His life for you and is preparing a place for you. Maybe Saturday? Maybe today? Maybe seven hundred and twenty Saturdays from now? Whatchya goona do?
If dancing on the side of the road like a crazy little old man is what You want me to do... then...
Lord, help me to dance, laugh or even play and in everything I do let me proclaim the message of who You are and How much you love us!
