SCRIPTURE: But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark. Matthew 24:37-38.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Just as the flood took many people unawares in the days of Noah, the Second coming of Jesus Christ will take many unawares.

It has been confirmed that to live wisely on earth, you must think deeply. Nobody can live wisely who has a shallow thought.

Psalm 90:12 says,
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

This means, those who live wisely are those who have the capacity to understand that their days on earth are numbered.
And one way to live wisely on earth is to think about the end of time.

Matthew 24:37-38 says,
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark.

You see, the Coming of Jesus Christ shall be like it was in the days of Noah.

In the days of Noah, people were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriages; they were doing these things as though the flood would not come.

Noah warned them about the impending flood but, they refused to listen or adhere to him. They turned deaf ears until the flood came upon them, and they all perished.

In the same way, in our world today, many people live as if this world would continue forever. When you tell them about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, they are not concerned; they can even mock you and give you all sorts of names. They live their lives anyhow, wallowing in sin and all forms of ungodly lifestyles.

But the caution is, just as the flood took many people unawares in the days of Noah, the Second coming of Jesus Christ will take many unawares.

Beloved, are you ready for the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ? Is your garment pure and white? You must always be conscious of this so you can adjust your life. Live with eternity in view. Disengage from any lifestyle that will make you miss heaven.

Remember this: Just as the flood took many people unawares in the days of Noah, the Second coming of Jesus Christ will take many unawares.
