Preparedness
Preparedness
By: Tom Wright
Feb. 1, 1998
Merely waiting
for your ship to come in
is not sufficient.
You must be dockside, prepared and
scanning the horizon.
Those who are content to wait,
life will pass by.
The prepared will always
cause something to happen.
The opportunity you seek
may or may not come.
But never fail because
you were unprepared.
Of much greater importance is
the spiritual side of your life.
While "The old ship of Zion"
will come, many will be left dockside.
The procrastinators,
who had plenty of time,
those who believed in luck or chance,
and yes, those who chose to just wait.
The unprepared will be doomed
to an eternity in hell.
"Where The Worm Dieth Not
And The Fire Is Not Quenched".
It is far better for one's ship
to come late than to come early
and find us unprepared.
"But Of That Day & Hour Knoweth
No Man, No, Not The Angels Of Heaven,
But My Father Only".
