It’s Time!
Did y’all notice a feeling of change in the air last week? It got cold didn’t it? As I write this, I noticed that the weather is supposed to be warm for about three more days. And by the time this is in print it will be cooler again. I have a fair short memory, but wasn’t it just in the 100’s a few short weeks ago?
The cows are feelin’ the change, so are the horses as are most all of God’s creatures.
God set forth the changing of the seasons so the cycle of life can continue. Now, scientifically, I know there is a lot more to it than the seasons just changing. It has to do with the rotation and orbit of the earth and all sorts of things. But God set it all forth. God created…well, God created everything! He had a busy week back there thousands of years ago creating it all.
It is time. What does that mean to you? Time to do what? Time to get ‘er done? Time to take a nap? Time to go fishin’?
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2a says, “There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven — A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant… (nasb) Whoa! Now folks, I have been taking special notice of late about that time to plant thing. And what works out good one year maybe ain’t so good the next time. You need a plan. It’s the same way with turning your life over to Jesus Christ. There is a time and if you haven’t yet made Jesus your boss, then do it and start living for Jesus right away.
“But I want to do my own thing for awhile!” you tell God. “I’ll let you have my life as soon as I am done with it, I’ll get back to you later.”
Friend, that later time may be just too late. There is a time for all things and now is the time to turn your life over to Christ.
Just as there will come a time when it is time to plant, there will come a time when it is too late to give your life to Christ. And we never know when that will be, so don’t procrastinate. There have been years when it didn’t ever start raining until it was too late to plant the seed into moisture and there have been years when it never stopped raining long enough to get into the muddy fields to plant.
Now is the time! Jesus went to the cross for your sins and for mine. He desires a relationship with you. I am quite sure that if you turn the reins of your life over to Him, that He will be able to handle your life a whole lot better than you can.
Yes, turning your life over to Jesus will no doubt bring about change, but it will mean changing to an awesome relationship in Him. And when you invite Jesus, you get the whole package.
God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit! What an awesome relationship, it’s a 3fer special deal!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You don’t have to get your life straightened out first. Come to Jesus, He will help you turn your life around. That’s what He does!
And some sweet day, you will get to be with Him at the Father’s headquarters in heaven! That is truly awesome!
Come to Jesus! It is time! That’s all for now, I need to get busy! How about you?
Choose Jesus, choose life! And find a Bible believin’ church where you “fit in” and know, grow, and follow Christ! Tell others! See y’all at church and keep PRAYIN’ for HIS HARVEST!
And y’all please KEEP PRAYIN’ for RAIN! Amen
