Romans 13:11-14 – 11 And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
This advice is so important to almost all of us who are not in the full time ministry. This world and the time we live in screams, serve yourself, get what’s yours, do what you want to do, the world is at your fingertips.
This is when we get into those slumbers. We forget God, let alone serving God.
The night is nearly over and the day is almost here. We are one day closer to leaving this world and then standing in front of the Lord. Accountability will soon become a reality.
Today is a new day. It may be 11:48PM, but the Lord wants us to seek and work for Him. The time for each one of us is drawing to a close on this earth. That’s the truth no matter how you break it down.
Grace is to have our sins forgiven, not to use as an excuse to knowingly keep on sinning without trying to become more of what God wants us to be.
It’s about your heart. Where’s it at. What’s scary and too bad is the reality will step in when one knows the chapter in this life on earth is over. They’ll know in their spirit that it was then temporary. Seek today your loving Lord. Make yourself available and get in the Word so you have it to share with others.
