Romans 13:11 God's Word Translation
How many times have you said, "One of these days, I'm going to..." Did you?
Did you make any New Year resolutions? One of the definitions for "resolute" is to be "admirably purposeful." I love that phrase. Does it describe the intent behind your resolution?
Nothing will ever just happen "one of these days" - and nothing will ever just change "one of these days" unless we are admirably purposeful toward making it happen.
There are 2 times that it scares me most to hear "one of these days." One is when we share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the person's response is "One of these days, I'll do that, but before then, I need to..." or "I want to..." The other is when we get a nudge in our heart to share the Gospel or reach out to someone and we ignore it thinking that we will do it one of these days and it turns out that the person didn't have many more days...
We know the times in which we are living. It’s time for us to wake up. Our salvation is nearer now than when we first became believers.
Prayer:
Father,
Help us to walk out Your Word in 1st Corinthians 15:58 - to be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in Your work, knowing that our labor is not in vain. Help us to live our lives admirably purposeful all of our days. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
