Everything
has a space,
and
should be in place.
So
you’re ready;
to
run your race,
and
– “just in case.”
“A
place for everything and everything in its place.”
"Have
a place for every thing, and keep every thing in its proper place,”

Cor 9:24-27
24
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the
prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize is
temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we
for an imperishable crown. 26 Therefore
I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.
27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have
preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
NKJV
Ps
19:5
5
Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And
rejoices like a strong man to run its race.

Luke
11:21
21
When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace.
NKJV
Luke
16:10-12
10
He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is
unjust in what is least is unjust also in much.
11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon,
who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if you have not been faithful in what is another man's, who will
give you what is your own?
NKJV
Luke
12:42-43
42
And the Lord said, "Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his
master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food
in due season? 43 Blessed is that
servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.
NKJV
Prov
6:6-11
6
Go to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider
her ways and be wise,
7
Which, having no captain,
Overseer
or ruler,
8
Provides her supplies in the summer,
And
gathers her food in the harvest.
9
How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
When
will you rise from your sleep?
10
A little sleep, a little slumber,
A
little folding of the hands to sleep —
11
So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
And
your need like an armed man.
NKJV
Prov
24:27
27
Prepare your outside work,
Make
it fit for yourself in the field;
And
afterward build your house.
NKJV
Prov
24:30-34
30
I went by the field of the lazy man,
And
by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;
31
And there it was, all overgrown with thorns;
Its
surface was covered with nettles;
Its
stone wall was broken down.
32
When I saw it, I considered it well;
I
looked on it and received instruction:
33
A little sleep, a little slumber,
A
little folding of the hands to rest;
34
So shall your poverty come like a prowler,
And
your need like an armed man.
NKJV
Prov
27:23-27
23
Be diligent to know the state of your flocks,
And
attend to your herds;
24
For riches are not forever,
Nor
does a crown endure to all generations.
25
When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself,
And
the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,
26
The lambs will provide your clothing,
And
the goats the price of a field;
27
You shall have enough goats' milk for your food,
For
the food of your household,
And
the nourishment of your maidservants.
NKJV
Prov
22:3
A
prudent man foresees evil and hides himself,
But
the simple pass on and are punished.
NKJV
Luke
12:35-40
35
"Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; 36 and you yourselves be like men who wait
for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and
knocks they may open to him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find
watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit
down to eat, and will come and serve them.
38 And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third
watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 39 But know this, that if the master of the
house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not
allowed his house to be broken into. 40
Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not
expect."
NKJV
