LESSON 120 READY OR NOT ITS COMING WHEN FACED WITH LIFE OR DEATH ISSUES ONE ONLY NEED TO KNOW THAT GOD WILL NOT LEAVE YOU ALONE. WE CAN TAKE REFUGE UNDER HIS MIGHTY WINGS. PSALMS 91:4. WHEN I CHOSE THE TITLE OF THIS LESSON, GOD TOOK ME BACK IN MY MEMORY OF A THOUGHT PROVOKING STORY. IN THIS STORY THERE WAS A LADY WHO DOATED ON HER GOOD LOOKS. SHE WAS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ONE HAVE EVER SEEN. THEN ONE DAY DEATH CAME FOR HER. SHE PLEADED WITH HIM TO GIVE HER MORE TIME, FOR SHE WASNT READY TO DIE. HE SAID I WILL NOT TAKE YOU TODAY. BUT KNOW THIS I WILL BE BACK. I WILL GIVE YOU WARNING AND YOU NEED TO HEED THESE WARNING. SEVERAL YEARS PASSED AND SHE BEGAN TO NOTICE HER HAIR TURNING GREY. SHE BEGAN USING COLORING TO COVER IT. THEN HER EYES GREW DIM, SO SHE BOUGHT GLASSES. HER BALANCE WASNT PERFECT SO SHE HAD TO RELIE ON A CANE. HER SKIN SEEM TO WRINKLE MORE, SO SHE BOUGHT CREAMS TO SMOOTHE THEM. THEN ONE DAY A KNOCK SOUNDED AT THE DOOR. WHEN SHE OPEN IT DEATH STARED HER IN THE FACE. SHE PANIC. NO! I AM NOT READY, AND YOU PROMISE TO WARN ME. I DID, DEATH SAID. BUT WHEN SHE ASK. WHEN YOUR HAIR TURNED GRAY, YOUR EYES GREW DIM, YOUR WALK SLOWED AND WAS UNBALANCED, AND YOUR SKIN WRINKLES. ALL THOSE THINGS WAS YOUR WARNING. IN THIS STORY SHE HAD ALL KINDS OF WARNING WHEN DEATH WOULD COME. WE WILL NOT RECIEVE ANY WARNING. GOD LEFT HIS WORD PLAIN AND EASILY UNDERSTOOD. BE YE ALSO READY, BECAUSE ONE KNOW NOT WHEN THE SON OF MAN WILL RETURN MATTHEW 24:44 REMEMBER HEZEKIAH? HE WAS SO SICK AND ISAIAH WARN HIM OF HIS IMPENDING DEATH. HEZEKIAH CRIED AND PRAYED TO GOD AND REMINED GOD OF HIS DEVOTION TO HIS WORD. GOD HEARD HIS PRAYER AND GAVE HEZIKIAH 15 MORE YEARS TO LIVE. 2KING 20:1 WE CANNOT SIT AND WAIT FOR A WARNING. EACH DAY WE NEED TO BE SENDING UP OUR TIMBER. THINK ON IT.
