Good Morning, God,
Lord, the headlines probably would never use this term, but are usually written in such a way that we feel its words. The term is "the tyranny of the urgent."
Lord, whether something just "pops up" that must be done "right now" or we push something that must be done right up to the very last minute before settling on a solution, we face "the tyranny of the urgent." When we do, our adrenaline really gets to pumping, we feel the urge to fight or flee, and our brain goes into hyper-warp. Then, usually, we get it done. Very often, also, we get it done well because all of our resources and concentration has been on the urgent need. But the stress gets to be too much.
Lord, your word has somethng to say about the tyranny of the urgent: Doln't let it happen; be prepared for it. Of course, you are speaking of the moment we must meet Jesus and whether or not we will have acccepted him by then. So, your word to us this day is: Be ready, for you do not know the day or the hour you will meet the Lord.
Thanks for the warning, Lord!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
