END TIMES

The end is coming shortly and none of us know when. It could be seventeenth of June at quarter after ten. Of course it’s only just a guess. Do you think it could be, The twenty-third of August at exactly five past three? We know that no one knows the date and no one knows the time. We’re told that only Father God and no one else Divine Has got this information. He hasn’t shared it round, The Others of the Trinity and it cannot be found. There has to be a reason. At least one, maybe more. It’s there to keep us guessing and adding up the score. If anybody knew it, then who would have the fun, Of fiddling with dates and times to see when it is done? If you were told for certain in twenty seventy-three I rather think you’d do the same as other folks like me. You’d fall back on your laurels and doze away the time, And leave it to the grand-kids and hope they do it fine. But God knows human nature. He made it after all. So He knows just what we would do; the large; the great, the small. And so He keeps us guessing. You may think it’s unfair. But it applies to every tribe and people everywhere. So what should we be doing in the light of what we know? Don’t tell me that we’d go on strike or keep our work rate slow. I think that we would rush about as if it is today, So that no matter who we are, we’re ready - come what may. There is a famous Christian when asked where he would be, He told them that He hoped he would be planting out a tree. He said that he would do it if Jesus came or no. And that he thought it was the best and only way to go. But what about your answer? Is it the same as mine? Working in His vineyard and serving Christ Divine? At least that’s what I’m wanting. But will it be a fact? Or will He find me sleeping and much to tired to act? I know what I would rather. It’s what I’d like to do. You do not have to tell me. It all depends on you. So what will you be doing and what will Jesus see? I trust you have an answer that’s so much more than me. I’m trusting you will make it and we will all meet there The question of who’s missing? ….. Please let’s not go down there. Jim Strickland – written Saturday, 23 July 2011
