We bought a new bed the other day and we were amazed at how much prices
had increased. The first one we liked cost more than my first new car
(twice as much in fact)! We did NOT buy that one; instead, we purchased a bed we could afford that would still do the job.
As we were checking out, we mentioned that we had just celebrated our
50th wedding anniversary. The saleslady responded with: "I was married
25 years" and then "he was only 47 when he died".
We left the store feeling blessed, but also understanding that life is
short and that we had better make the best of every single day.
Somehow, this picture has a new meaning to me. Don't put off things; you
may never get the chance to do them. Well, to get the most out of life,
one needs to prioritize. Consider this...
2 Corinthians, Chapter 6 (World English Bible)
1 Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain, 2 for he says,
“At an acceptable time I listened to you.
In a day of salvation I helped you.”
Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation. (emphasis added)
Over the course of my life, I have known literally thousand and
thousands of people. But, I can never really know everything about them,
especially what they are thinking. Are they spiritual people? Have they
ever read the Bible? More importantly, have they ever obeyed the
Gospel?
What about yourself? Would you consider yourself a spiritual person?
Have you ever read what the Bible says about the Gospel? Have you obeyed
the Gospel and become a Christian?
As the emboldened part of the verse above says .."now is the acceptable
time. now is the day of salvation". Why not make today the day you
changed your life to follow God? Why not? Time is a wasting...
Do it NOW!
