Time to spring our clocks ahead

I can't believe another week has come and gone, where does the time go? Speaking of time, I have this nifty clock in my bedroom that somehow knows that tonight is the night for springing forward. This clock is so smart that at 11:00PM it automatically skipped and hour (which means this week not only sped by but we all lost an hour of it in the shuffle) and went to 12:00AM! I don't know what brain figured invented this remarkable object but all hats must go off to him or her! I think it's totally amazing how such a little thing that we take for granted actually exists! Fortunately, we live in an age that reminds us on the correct day that it is time to spring our clocks forward and likewise when they are to fall back.
The Bible says in Mark 13:32 "But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." it goes on to say in verse 35: "Therefore be on alert-for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight or when the rooster crows-in the morning-in case He should come suddenly and find you asleep.What I say to you, I say to all, Be on alert."
WE know that Jesus is coming back to take His bride home one day. What the Word of God tells us is that we do not know when. The very reason we are to be sure we are alive, awake and ready. Are you ready? Have you taken the necessary step to assure you will be wearing God's wedding ring? Have you done all it takes to assure your place at Heaven's wedding feast? Good night or should I say~Good morning?
