One of the hardest things for me to do is keep on top of things. To prepare for tomorrow. Like many foolish people I have been caught inside that trap of procrastination. Putting off today, what I can do tomorrow.
There are many who watch and wait to snare us. They watch for that ideal time when we are playing catch up. When we are stooped low resting a moment longer than is needful.
This life is a time for us to prepare to meet God! It is a time to build ourselves up. A time to create memories and build relationships. These relationships are the only things that we can take with us, when we leave this life.
The Lord taught us to prepare now. To watch continually for his coming. We recieve great blessings as we prepare. We prepare to come into the presence of the father. We can do this by being watchful. That means living the gospel of Christ. Showing that you want to bring yourselves and your families home.
My favorite verse of the Book of Mormon expresses it as clearly as you can get: Moroni 10:32 reads,
32 Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and dlove God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.
To be watchful, we must perfect ourselves and then invite others to do the same!
