| "This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 We need to remember that this may be the day the Lord returns. The thought of Psalm 118:24 surely includes our rejoicing in the return of the Lord. If we really believe Christ may return today, we'd live a great deal differently, seeking to affect others for Christ. Nobody knows when Jesus will return, so we ought to live each day as though He will come back today. Use time wisely and make the most of every opportunity. "Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time" (Colossians 4:5). We need to get involved of the lives of those outside the Lord. Pray daily that God will keep alive in our hearts, a picture of those who are outside Christ as being lost. Ask God to revive your loving concern that all men be taught of Him, and to help you be involved in every effort to teach them. Treat everyone as if you'll never see them again. If we don't take for granted that we'll have time tomorrow, our treatment towards others will surely improve. So let us use the time NOW to share a little about Jesus, for we may not have another opportunity. If we truly believe NOW is all the time we have, what a difference that that will make in our lives. Isn't it great to be a part of the family of God? May you be blessed with a wonderful day in the Lord. Love in Christ Jesus, Sandy |
