Guardian angels. They are really great to have around. If they weren't around, none of us would be around either cause the evil one would have already destroyed us. But that wasn't God's plan, Jesus came to this world to save sinners, and His coming would have been totally pointless if there were no sinners left to save.
But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, but my Father only. Matthew 24:36. No one knows when Jesus is going to come back except God, not even the angels in heaven. So although we have guardian angels, we never really know at what moment our lives may be over. God has a purpose for everyone, and He will protect you and keep you safe if you haven't fulfilled your purpose yet.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
A hope AND a future... wow. Hope, we have this hope that burns within our hearts, hope in the coming of the Lord. And a future, 'cause without that hope we would have no future.
I know God has a plan for me, I've seen it. I have been in several situations where I know I shouldn't have survived. I love God's promise in Psalm 91:11 that says "For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways." Keep you in all your ways. Wherever you go, His angels will be there protecting you.
People get sick, people get diseases, people die suddenly, some are murdered, some die in car crashes, and some die of old age; but even with all the technology we have these days to make life simple, with as little to do as possible (amazing how lazy the human race is), we still can't predict the future, including when we will die. Anyone can die, at any time, and only God knows when you will die.
So what can you do about it? Be ready. Always be ready, I want to be ready when Jesus comes, I want Him to say to me, "Well done, good, and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your LORD." So live life as if you will die today, but preach the gospel as if you were the only one preaching and had the whole world to tell before Jesus comes. I don't know if I'm ready, I would like to think I am, but the truth is we have all
fallen short of the glory of God we can never truly be worthy of Him. Jesus wants to take us all to heaven to live with him for a thousand years, and then we will get to return to this Earth made new again. I want to be there for that!

This world is growing old, it's not going to last forever, He is coming soon.
Are you ready...?
