It's Now or Never

5.2.12 Title: It's Now or Never Scripture: We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work. (John 9:4 NLT) Observation: Jesus disciples were trying to talk him into taking a "safe" route. But He told them that there wasn't enough time left to play it safe, but to work then before the night came. Application: The same is certainly true in our day as we are so near the coming of the Lord for His church. We must work now to accomplish what God has called us to accomplish. We certainly walk in the "rest" of the Lord and aren't called to be frantic or panicked, but we're called to be about the Father's business without delay. Even when it's to the safe route. Prayer: Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of my Lord Jesus. Please help me obey the urgency of the Holy Spirit to be about Your work on this earth - in my sphere of influence. Hep me not to fear the "unsafe" route, but to trust and obey You. Amen.
