Nice one Jo. 60 years ago I joined the Scouts whose motto is “Be prepared”. A few years later I joined the RAF who are required to be in a continual state of “readiness”. If someone had told me then that half a century later I would be listening to a church sermon about being ready for God I would have probably thought they`re bonkers.
You are so very right when you said that we can have so much going on in our busy modern lives which clutter up our minds that there is not a lot of room left to prepare to be ready for God. I`m going to try and praise and talk to God as I go about my daily activities; on the bus, walking, working etc etc. There is always something to talk to God about and praise him for at any time.
A thought has occurred to me of a mother changing her baby`s nappy praising and thanking God for providing her with such an acute sense of smell. I think He would appreciate that because we know that there are many instances of humour in the Bible.
