Be prepared in season and out of season

"In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."

2 TIMOTHY 4:1-4

The attitude that dictates action in most people comes from an internal feeling. If you are feeling good - there is much to be conquered, however, when things don't feel so good - it is easy to be conquered.

Jesus was never conquered. He did everything exactly as planned, as directed, as guided by the Holy Spirit. In happiness or sadness, the Spirit of God is Holy and Righteous - always worthy of the call. There is not to be self pity but to be peaceful in Jesus. For in Christ everything is exactly as it should be - the choice is the attitude you have in the situation.

The tasks of the Lord occur at the time of his choosing. At once we hear the call, we are to be prepared whether it is at our most desirable time or not. We are reconciled to him. Through his Spirit we are made whole and capable of completing all that we are called to do.
