It's Time!
by Tom Norvell
Have you been waiting for the right time to make a change in your life? Have you been delaying a decision that you know must be made? Have you had good intentions but have never followed through with them? Well, it's time!
Have you wondered what God could do with your life if you completely surrendered your will to His? Have you found yourself wishing you could feel closer to the Lord, and experience a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him? Stop wondering and wishing. It's time!
Has your family been bugging you to work less? Have they been begging you to spend more time with them? Have you been promising them that thing will be better, but it is "Just not a good time?" Stop making excuses. It's time!
Have you been thinking that something has to be done to bring our nation back to God? Have you made comments about how far we've drifted? Have the events of recent days left you wishing someone would do something?
It's time for you to do something!
Have you made a commitment to God that you have never fulfilled? Have you promised your wife you would take better care of yourself? Get more rest? Work less? Have a checkup? Have you been meaning to call that friend you know is struggling? Have you told yourself dozens of times "I'm going to visit those folks from church?" Have you said you would meet your neighbors, but never find the time? Have you wanted to say something to your co-worker about the Savior, but have been afraid of saying the wrong thing?
Well, it's time!
It's time we started taking the time to take advantage of the opportunities that God sends our way to speak up, stand up, lift up, and cheer up.
It's time we stopped doing some things and started doing other things, better things, more productive things, and more spiritual things.
It's time we finished one project and started another project.
It's time we fulfilled the commitments we have made, and make other commitments which we will fulfill.
It's time to show God and all who know us that we are people of the Word, and people who keep our word. It's time!
Don't wait! It's time!
