It amazes me what a mathematician God is. Every time I read His Word I find that He has a meaning behind everything He says, and does. Take for example the following verse:
(Jeremiah 29:11-13), “For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart.”
Notice that God doesn’t say; “Let me know when you come up with plans for your future that you want me to bless.”
Did you notice how many times he refers to us (you/your)? Nine times. Want to know what nine represents? Harvest. You know what He is talking about here? That's right, "Harvest".

Preparing involves calling upon the Lord, coming to God in relationship, praying, and seeking the Lord with all our heart.
It’s not the looks, the lamps,or the longdresses that sets the wise apart from the foolish – it’s the readiness.
There is an old story of a king of bygone days and his 'clown' or 'jester', who sometimes said very foolish things and sometimes made very wise utterances. One day the jester had said something so foolish that the king, handing him a staff, said to him, 'Take this, and keep it till you find a bigger fool than yourself.'
Some years later, the king was very ill and lay on his deathbed. His courtiers were called; his family and his servants also stood round his bedside. The king, addressing them, said, 'I am about to leave you. I am going on a very long journey, and I shall not return again to this place: so I have called you all to say "Goodbye".' Then his jester stepped forward and, addressing the king, said, 'Your Majesty, may I ask a question? When you have journeyed abroad visiting your people, staying with your nobles, or paying diplomatic visits to other courts, your heralds and servants have always gone before you, making preparations for you. May I ask what preparations your Majesty has made for this long journey that he is about to take?'
'Alas!' replied the king, 'I have made no preparations.'
'Then,' said the jester, 'take this staff with you, for now I have found a bigger fool than myself.'

ACTION STEP: While making all your preparations for Christmas, and the New Year, make sure you are prepared for your ultimate destiny. The first thing Abram did when God told him to leave his own country was tell his family. Make sure your family knows what to do to make preparations for heaven. Jesus is coming back for His bride.
