     Just as Jesus prepared His disciples for His death and resurrection, He is preparing us for Himself. God wants His people
with Him and to shine forth in this world as His Son, Jesus Christ. As believers in Jesus Christ, we know where we are going and
God has work for us to do and people to touch along the way. So don’t you want to be prepared for the journey and the work?
Some of us lose sight of God’s preparation in us. Everything that He allows us to experience is by His permission and for our
preparation. Often we focus on the trials, hardships and the pain, rather than the wisdom, the peace, the joy and the comfort
that God provides as we move through these learning experiences. Let us focus on growing closer to God through His
preparation so that we are ready for the work that God has assigned to us. Our model for this focus and preparation is Jesus
Christ Himself.
