In anything that we do, there needs to be some sort of preparation. We cannot expect to get good results or good progress if we try to get something done all of a sudden. For example,if we want to do well in an exam, we would need to begin studying early, so that we would have had enough practice to answer the questions efficiently and effectively. If we want to run a race, we would need to train our bodies early, so that running the race would not be that strenous to our bodies. If we want to climb a mountain, we would need to work out our leg and and hand muscles, so that we would be ready and prepared to withstand the pressure of climbing.
In today's
Gospel, we are reminded that "The coming of the kingdom of God does not admit
of observation... They will say to you, “Look there!” or, “Look here!”
Make no move; do not set off in pursuit..." If we have been faithful to
our duty as Christians, then there is no reason to fear. We know that
God will guide and care for us no matter what happens. Instead of becoming
worrywarts or fret about such things, we should prepare ourselves and focus in building our
relationship with God and also with others. If we have made the necessary preparations, we would be ready to meet the Lord at any time. Let us not slack or procrastinate, since the time to prepare is now.
