"This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the Lord's Passover." (Exodus 12:11)
Although the Israelites were asked to leave Egypt some time after midnight, God asked them to get ready well beforehand and eat in a way as if they were to set off any moment.
As God's purpose unfolds in our lives, do we prepare our hearts as rich soil to receive the seeds of angel thoughts? When we receive them, do we get up and get ready for their fruition? Or do we bargain, complain, procrastinate or ignore them?
What is the true priority in our lives: what God wants, or what we want?
