Those in a hurry lose their time

Prepare to meet your God.
Amos 4:12

Those in a hurry lose their time
On Sunday, 23 July 2017, a group of motorcyclists was driving from Klosters to Davos, Switzerland. At the height of Laret, a driver overtook a car. When she returned to her lane, she veered off the right side of the road and crashed head-on into the wall of a house. In her rush for a few extra seconds she lost her life!

Once again the wisdom in the title has been proven true. Perhaps we are living our whole life in a hurry. There is so much to do – with no time to pause and reflect. We want to save time but in fact we lose time, because we never enjoy the present and are always looking to what is coming next!

That’s why God calls out to us: “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). We should call upon God today and confess our sins to Him – unreservedly, unvarnished, honestly. Then He will forgive us for Jesus’ sake and give us eternal life. This frees us from an oppressive burden and makes us ready to meet God with a clear conscience.

Many are in no hurry at all in this vitally important matter. They take their time – a lot of time. Time passes and suddenly they are at the gates of eternity and are not equipped to stand before the holy God. Some waver too long – and only end up losing their lives.

Today’s reading: Nehemiah 7:1-38 · Proverbs 13:13-25

BE STRONG

You don't charge someone to be strong if there is no task to be performed or if pressure is not required, either for motion or putting up resistance against an opposing force. In the physical realm, mere movement requires strength. This explains why a sick person or a person just recovering from an ailment finds it...More

Acts 5:4-5

God often proves to be other than people think. Here, for example, death struck a man suddenly for lying before God. Is God therefore severe, when he makes use of His power unreservedly towards the weak?
Let us first briefly examine what preceded this judgment. Holy zeal for the...More
