DO IT NOW!

DO IT NOW!

Heb 3:12-15
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

Prov 27:1
27:1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

           I am constantly being asked to pray for one thing or another. I always plan to set aside some time to pray but am also surprised at how the list grows to an unmanageable size. I should do it now! In fact whenever a person asks me to pray for them what would hurt if we simply paused and prayed right now; on the spot?

           Many of us have great plans for tomorrow. Why, tomorrow is going to be a very busy day but also a very great day. Challenges will be met head on – tomorrow. We will bask in the warm glow of accomplishment – tomorrow. Great gains will be made – tomorrow. Why not do it now?

           Regarding the soul, we have no guarantee of another tomorrow. Our life is a vapor, a morning fog that seems thick and full of substance but fades when the sun rises high.

Acts 24:25
25 And as he [Paul] reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

Dear Lord, give me the strength of character to do today’s business today. AMEN
