Today’s thoughts should encourage us to get it done right now. As the old saying goes, “Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why we call it the present.” Use it now!
Our Scripture verse for today is Acts 24:25.
In this text, Paul was on trial before a Roman governor named Felix. Felix heard what Paul said, knew what he needed to do, and uttered the sad words,
“Go away for now, when I have a convenient time I will call for you.”
So far as we know, he never called for him. He never found that convent time.
I have looked at clocks for years and have seen everything from 1 to 12 o’clock, both AM and PM. None of my clocks have ever been marked “convent time.” I’ll bet your clock doesn’t have that time either.
Whatever the case, I have found many things I needed to do that I have put off until that more convenient time. Not finding it, they were left undone.
I guess with some things that is okay.
If you don’t find the time to watch television.
If you don’t find time to read the latest best-selling book.
If you don’t find the time to update your phone.
If you don’t find the time to check FaceBook.
Well, you can do it tomorrow. However, there are some things that cannot be put off until a more convenient time.
Do it today!
Call your friend
Listen to your spouse
Play with your kids
Read your Bible
Pray
These are things that cannot be put off till a more convenient time.
Don’t wait for that more convenient time.
