We’ve all read the warning posted on the side-view mirror of our vehicles “Objects in Mirror are Closer Than They Appear.”  This cautionary statement is in place to give us a proper perspective on our surroundings.  It serves to remind us of the distance and space of those vehicles around us.  What seems to be reality is just a little skewed- therefore, adjust accordingly as you drive.

     If we were to look in the mirror of our prophetical surroundings I believe we would see the same warning.  Whether we realize it or not, the return of the Lord is closer than it may seem.

     The apostle Peter warned that “scoffers” would question the return of Jesus in the last days.  The church at large is so busy, so active, moving so quickly down life’s highway that we fail to discern the signs of the times.   I wonder if we really anticipate His return on a day-to-day basis.

     Considering the way people “drive” their lives, it is hard to imagine that His return is in the forefront of our thinking.  Whether we are ready for it or not, He is coming back; and when He returns He is sure to stop traffic.  Check your spiritual bearings, the climate of the world, and the promise of Scripture- His return is closer than it may appear.
