NOW IS THE DAY

2 Corinthians 6:2 (NKJV) ... Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
   While talking to an aged gentleman, I asked him where he would spend eternity, he answered, "I don't know." His conversation grew serious and he asked if I would come by his house and talk with him and his wife, I did and they both received Jesus into their hearts. He looked at me through tears and said, "Today is the day."
   Over the years I have spoken to many people about our Lord and Savior, some have immediately pushed through and received Christ while others have waited for a "Better time." So many are waiting, for what, these days are more difficult to live in, the times have changed so drastically in the last 20 years, why are people prone to wait?
   The optimism of a human causes him to miss the opportunity of eternity, the choice is entirely ours, we can choose to serve God or self. In Matthew 8: 18-22 Jesus challenges men to follow Him, excuses are made and you are left with the distinct impression they waited for a "Better time."
    Our verse declares "Now is the accepted time," there is no better time, today we must acknowledge Jesus is Lord and trust Him with everything in our lives, there is no promise for manana.
Heavenly Father You are all we need, may this day bless You and may all we do be for You. We know our time is limited help us to see those around us are in need of a Savior, help us to share with others your love for all men. Let us be light where darkness rules and may every breath count for You. Amen
