Furnished and Prepared



Have you ever had one of those days when you just feel compelled to get things done—and you’re not even sure what’s driving you? I have. And as I was cooking or cleaning, I’d be thinking, “This makes no sense!” But then someone would show up on my doorstep, and I’d realize God was the Great Orchestrator.  

I was reading Mark 14 and verse 15 jumped out at me. Jesus had told two of his disciples to go into the city and follow a man carrying water (highly unusual since women did that job) and ask the master, “Where is the room for the Passover?” And verse 15 says, “Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared, there make ready for me.”

The master of the house had already prepared the room—without knowing why. Don’t you know everything fell into place in his mind when he was asked where the room was?

When you feel compelled to clean, decorate, cook, fill the car up with gas, get the children dressed, or any number of things…just do it! You might be preparing for Jesus.
