When all collapses, when all is won, when all else fails we find our self right here.  Right here is the place you would cross a million miles to get to and the people you would give your last micro gram of blood, sweat or energy to protect.  When all enemies are vanquished, all work done, all battles lost or won, where would you go?  Is it a physical location or somewhere you would be with a certain person or group of family members to spend final moments or take your last stand?  Is there no one for whom you would give everything to defend?  Does this idea even resonate in your heart?  The concepts of right here and readiness are inseparable and specifically apropos for today’s generation.

Readiness includes unique components; aptness, dexterity, preparation, willingness, maturity, inclination and many others.  It is one of those words of which we seldom think, but always wish we had.  It is often the determining factor between success and failure, comfort and despair or life and death.  Louis Pasteur understood when he coined the phrase, “chance favors the prepared mind”.  For a Christian it is less an act of random hope than a direct reaction to command.  In the Bible there are few messages repeated as frequently as “Be ready”.  In order to be ready we need to have a plan and then prepare for the eventualities.  It all comes back to where will you make your stand.  Right here Lord, right here.  Praise Your name Father.  Thank you for freeing us Lord Jesus.  Holy Spirit reside with us forever.  Amen.
