The Time And Your Actions
Wednesday, March 13, 2024Key Verse
“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed” (Romans 13:11).
Text — Romans 13:10-14
Message
It is said that, “Proper preparation prevents poor performance.” Many students know this, yet would not study but wait to cheat in exams. A few years ago a law student of Malaga University, Spain, etched tiny notes of a whole syllabus across the entire circumference of eleven blue pens to cheat in an examination. He was caught and the pens confiscated. Several people said that if the student was going to go through this much effort, he might as well have just studied. That is how many careless youths waste their time that could have served a better purpose.
Our lesson today reminds believers of God’s timetable. Each day brings us closer to the time of Christ’s return to judge the world. The signs of the last days are everywhere. If you have been in Christ do not relax but stay steadfast serving the Lord because you are nearer the end than when you first believed. If you are not yet born again, then repent because the judgment day will soon dawn and delay is dangerous. The saints, like successful diligent students, will rejoice at last.
