yesterday - TODAY - tomorrow
“I’ll do it tomorrow.” Many of us have used that line. Some
of us use it all too often. It’s quite the statement when you really think
about it. But what are you really saying? I think what we are saying is, and I
include myself in this, first, it’s not important right now and second, I have
time to get to it some other time. In most cases it is probably true but not in
all cases. Life changing decisions need to be dealt with at the time. I can put
off washing the car until Friday but I can’t put off sending off that job
application. I can do the dishes tomorrow but I can’t wait for another time to
do the assignment that is due now.
Here is something else. There are things we can put off and
others that we need to do right now to make our lives more enjoyable. ie – Not
feeling well and knowing you need to see a doctor. I know someone who put off
going to university and now – they think it’s too late. To which I say, “It’s never
too late”. Which makes me ask, is there a time when it’s really too late?
MMMMM. Here is something else to add to the discussion. If you have something to do and you get to it
right away, you have a long time to enjoy whatever you have done. Paint a
picture, enjoy for the rest of your live. Plant a garden and enjoy God’s beauty
until the first frost of fall.
Today you have something to do, something that will enrich
your life, something that you should not put off until tomorrow because today
is the time, and something that will change your life forever. No, I’m not
going to tell you about seizing the day or anything like that. I just want to
encourage you to do what you need to do so the joy of having a whole life to
enjoy it is available to you. Yes, that includes accepting Christ today and
living the rest of your life with Him in your heart. 2 Corinthians 6:2 reads in
part; ‘I tell you, now is the time of God’s favour, now is the day of salvation’.
Something to think about
