The Time

“I will appoint a time,” says God.

You know the time has come; the moment is here for you to stop sleeping and wake up, because by now our salvation is nearer than when we first began to believe. The night is nearly over, daylight is on the way; so let us throw off everything that belongs to the darkness and equip ourselves for the light. Let us live decently, as in the light of day . . . fix your attention on God.

Jesus said, “No procrastination. No backward looks. You can’t put God’s kingdom off till tomorrow. Seize the day.”

Psalm 75:2a ~Romans 13:11-13 ~Romans 12:1 ~Luke 9:62
