\u201cYes, I\u2019m on my way! I\u2019ll be there soon! I\u2019m bringing my payroll with me. I\u2019ll pay all people in full for their life\u2019s work. – Revelation 22:12<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thousands of years later,\u00a0“I’ll be there soon” looks strange to 21st Century eyes of flesh.<\/p>\n

But to the Spirit Being, it makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n

It’s the difference between a child\u00a0whining “Are we there yet, are we there yet” from the backseat of a car on a journey that is taking “for aaaages”…and the perspective of an adult who understands\u00a0that all things considered (distance on the map, traffic, weather, need for rest stops etc), they’re actually\u00a0moving quite fast.<\/p>\n

Journeys to\u00a0success and failure often feel the same.<\/p>\n

Nothing’s happening, nothing’s happening, nothing’s happening…and then suddenly you wake up and realize you’ve arrived.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 6:10-12 describes it like this:<\/p>\n

Sleep a little. Doze a little.<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Fold your hands<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and twiddle your thumbs.<\/span><\/span>
\n11\u00a0<\/sup>Suddenly, everything is gone,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>as though it had been taken<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>by an armed robber.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, even though it\u00a0feels\u00a0<\/em>as if nothing’s happening…the truth is that more is going on than meets the eye.<\/p>\n

“I’ll be there soon” is a Reality that is unfolding with every\u00a0second you’re alive.<\/p>\n

Are you ready?<\/p>\n
