Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house.  Matthew 24:17 

 

The Bible uses words like straightaway, immediately, and suddenly, to remind us that when God moves He does it quickly. He doesn't announce it with trumpets and fanfare, so you need to stay prepared; especially when it's something you've been waiting a long time for. God actually moves so quickly that one day you'll feel as if you're going through hell and the next as if you're seated in heavenly places. And in both instances it's 'God which worketh in you...' (Philippians 2:13). Stay alert! You may be just a moment away from the answer you've been seeking. That's all the time it takes God to change things. Don't let procrastination steal your opportunity. Listen: 'Let him who is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house' (Matthew 24:17). You've got to decide if you will go with what God has for you now or return to the house - because your unfinished business can cause you to miss it. So can others. A sick man missed his healing for 38 years because he waited for others to act. He said, 'I have no one to help...' (John 5:7). For years, he sat beside the solution, but others caused him to miss it. Nothing is more important than what God wants to say to you and do for you today; not what's going on in your house; not the opinions of others. All that matters is being ready to receive what He has for you!
