WHAT IS YOUR PLAN?

(Lockdown Before Sundown)

While man is making plans for life, life also makes plans for man. Nobody knows the last goodbye, the last wish, the last sigh, the last breath, or the last deed under the sun. Many are those who made plans for the day, the month, and even the entire year. In just one moment, just an eye blink, just a flash, the gloomy side of life has made mobile men immobile and sojourners "paralyzed".

All of a sudden, flights have been reduced to the ground, all doors are shut, all borders are closed, all preachers are out of the pulpits, all schools are on vacation or virtual classes, all businesses have stopped operating, all "white weddings" postponed—everyone and virtually everything, even pets are on lockdown just before sundown (just when we could retire to our beds and ponder on pleasant moments and precious memories).

Michael Jackson, "King of Pop", was rehearsing for a tour but died few days later. Kobe Bryant, "King of Basketball", was preparing for a basketball game but died few hours later. Many of the sailors of Titanic, "King of Ships", were making merry but most died few minutes later. "Oh how the mighty are fallen" (2 Samuel 1:25, 27). Death and sickness are no respecter of persons, edifice or borders. As you make plans for life, don’t forget to make plans for your eternal life (Proverbs 19:21, cf; James 4:14, John 17:3). God loves you!
