Blow the trumpets in Zion

Joel 2:1...."Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy Mountain! Let all the inhabitants on the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming; it is near." can't you just picture it...and hear this. Blow the trumpet...the Lord is coming soon. We should be sounding HIs Alarms constantly...he is coming back and we need to get ready. there is a song that says "people get ready, Jesus is coming" WHY are we ALL JUST SITTING AROUND like we have nothing to do. Get busy, get your heart ready. Clean up and make way for the Lord is on his way. When i was young and we had people coming over to our house, my mom alawys went nuts trying to get the house in order before the "company" arrived. We would wash windows, clean the base boards, wash the light plates, and things like that just for our company to come for an hour or so and then leave...but you know we don't take half that time daily to prepare for our KING...we just basically say take me as i am...but really is what we are near what he deserves? NOT AT ALL....PEOPLE GET READY!!!!Jesus is coming. Back in the bible times they would wave branches and make much of the Royalties arrival...decide today to make much of the FATHER. He should be made more of than what we are doing now. He deserves your "firsts". First moments of the day, first fruits, first thoughts, first words in everyday. Start today by making him FIRST in your hearts. Be blessed and encouraged...time for us to get ready for the day.
