Joel and Left Behind.

When reading the entire passage of Joel I think back to the time when The Left Behind series was huge, and that is what I read. In the passage of Joel it talks about the return of Christ, and who of his people will be ready to be judged on that day. It also explains ways to be prepared for that coming day. I just flashback to that time when all I read was the Left Behind series, and just being frightened. Not necessarily for myself but for those who will be indeed left behind. In the text, and these books the place it describes after Christ has come is not one I would want to stick around for. Terror is the first thing that comes to mind, and loneliness.

I remember in the left behind series when people were just disappearing out of no where. In planes, in cars, or just in their rooms. It seems so surreal but at the same time eye opening. Think about where you will be when Christ returns. Will you be ready? Or will you need more time? This seems so real to me, and something that I may not think about day to day. I mean I pray, and read my scriptures, but I am I really at that relationship point with Christ. Am I walking with Christ, or am I falling behind. I need to remember that I shouldn't just choose day to day when I will walk in the light of Christ, because I do not know when he will be returning to this Earth. I need to be prepared and to daily seek his guidance in everything that I do. Joel just made me look into my own life, and see where I really stand as far as my walk with Christ... I could be completely off base, but that is what I gather from the section I read of Joel.
