“Be Prepared” is the motto for both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. I was in Brownies, Girl Scouts and Cadets. I worked hard to learn new things and earn badges for my efforts. We recited the Girl Scout promise at each meeting and worked hard to live according to the values of Scouting.
Much of today’s passage deals with being prepared and ready for the coming of the Son of Man…for the master to return. For me, being prepared has meant keeping my relationship with God current and in ‘good standing’ each day. That way, I don’t ever have to worry about what time the Son of Man will come or when the ‘master’ will return home. By keeping my relationship current, I am ready by God’s grace.
