“NO ONE KNOWS!”

Matthew 24:36-44                                        (ESV)

“36 "But concerning that day and hour “NO ONE KNOWS”, not even the angels of heaven, nor the SON, but the FATHER only.

37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the SON of MAN.

38 For as in those days before the flood THEY WERE EATING AND DRINKING, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark,

39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the SON of MAN.

40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left.

41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left.

42 Therefore, stay awake, for YOU DO NOT KNOW on what day your LORD is coming.

43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.

44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the SON of MAN is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

Far more often than I care to focus on there is family members, a friend, or simply an acquaintance whose days in “this world” are declared over and they are transitioned to their eternal reward.   I’m not trying to say that everyone is going to Heaven.  As a matter of fact, Scripture says in Matthew 7:13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is WIDE and the way is EASY that leads to destruction, and THOSE WHO ENTER BY IT ARE MANY!!!”  

We can get so consumed with the cares of “this world” that we ignorantly allow the SPIRIT WORLD to get no attention.  Worse than that, the attention bestowed on our Spiritual Health can be less than a check up at the doctors office.  There are those who think that THEY KNOW what is best, that they can steer themselves on the best path for THEIR LIVES?!?  Everyone THINKS they KNOW what is THE WAY that they should go.  But just like a man driving in a foreign land WITHOUT A ROADMAP, we have NO CLUE how to get through this journey we call LIFE!

We are just as lost trying to get through LIFE with no ROADMAP (BIBLE!). GOD has given us HIS WORD as a guide to guide us.  Joshua 1:7b says “....Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go!” Yet in my “vast knowledge” I try to venture through the wilderness ON MY OWN, constantly getting lost in the jungle of life!  

JESUS HIMSELF told me in Matthew 24:36 that “NO ONE KNOWS” as much as we need to as we travel in”this world”!  It is IMPERATIVE that we follow OUR LEADER, the SPIRIT OF GOD, WHO JESUS called our COMFORTER (John 14:16 KJV), to lead us to our PROMISED LAND!  In my limited wisdom, there was NO INDICATION that on July 08, 2007 that I would experience a Brain Hemorrhage in less than 12 hours.  On April 08, 2017 there was NO INDICATION that I would have quadruple bypass surgery within a few days.  “NO ONE KNOWS” what is just around the corner for them.  All we can do is TRUST OUR CREATOR, the ONE WHO IS IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING, to lead us through to the PROMISED LAND!!!
