NOW IS THE TIME

 

NOW IS THE TIME

Is. 55:6-7 Seek the LORD while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near. Let the people turn from their wicked deeds. Let them banish from their minds the very thought of doing wrong! Let them turn to the LORD that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. NLT

One of the saddest things in all of life is our buying into the lie that there will always be another day, another opportunity, to make things right with God. The thinking is that God will always be available to save us. God will wait for us while we go out and do our thing. He will be there when we get tired of what the world has to offer.

But, will the Lord always be nearby? Will He stand by and wait for us to self-destruct before we come to our senses? The Lord will be near, but we may not be. Sin drives us away from God, and we can be driven so far away that we will not be able to hear God calling us to repentance. We can drift so far away from God that we can’t find our way back to Him.

Seek the Lord while you can find Him. Call on Him while he is near. If you don’t, you may wander into the darkness of sin so far that you will never find your way back. God doesn’t change. He will always be the Light of the world. But, will you always be able to see the Light?

That, my friend, is the question you must answer today. There is forgiveness for you today. Don’t wait until it is too late. The window of opportunity for you to repent may soon be shut.

Also, dear believer, if you are being controlled by sin in your life, don’t mess around and let it drive you farther away from God. Don’t assume you have plenty of time to repent. This may be your last opportunity to make things right with God. Don’t take the chance of entering into eternity with the baggage of sin on your shoulders. Be sure your heart is right with God.
