Preacher's Pondering 

​Our text for this Sunday: 
     •   Isaiah 2:1-5 As we approach them together I want you to “ponder” of a couple of things….

What does being ready look like to you?
 
This week’s text is not one that I’d call delightful. It discusses a way of being ready that we can’t maintain. The voice of Mad Eye Moody declaring “Constant vigilance” is rolling around in the back of my mind. Have you tried to be constantly vigilant?
I have but it lasted for about 5 minutes then I saw a squirrel. Though, I think there is more to it than readiness. Because we must ask ourselves what we are being ready for. This text is promising us of Jesus’ return. I can’t help but think that our readiness is less sitting still twiddling our thumbs and more stepping into the spaces of need. How can we be ready to step into spaces of need? Ponder this as we move toward our day of thanksgiving on our way to Sunday.
