For he says,
“In the time of
my favor I heard you,
and in the day
of salvation I helped you.”
I tell you, now
is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.
There’s an old story told about three apprentice devils
who were taking their final exam in front of Satan.
“Before I let you loose in the world,” Satan said, “I
need to know what deceitful message you are going to whisper in the ears of
people so that they end up here in hell.”
“That’s easy,” said the first devil. “I’ll tell them
there is no heaven.”
“That won’t work,” said Satan. “Whenever people look at
the beauty of the earth and feel the wonders of creation, they know that heaven
exists. FAIL!”
“I’ll tell them that there’s no hell,” said the second
devil.
“That won’t work either,” said Satan. “The world is full
of so much pain and suffering, injustice and cruelty that people know hell
exists as a place of punishment for the unrepentant and wicked. FAIL!”
The third devil thought for a moment and then said, “I’ll
tell them that there’s no hurry.”
“EXCELLENT!” Satan declared. “People will be fooled into
believing that there’s plenty of time to change. Hell will overflow with lost
souls! PASS!”
And the angel said: “There will be no more delay!”
Are we ready for Christ’s Return if He comes back today?
Dear Lord I pray that we would not delay in sharing Your
love with those in our life. We pray that our eyes would be open and our hearts
ready to share Your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
