Before It’s Too Late…
Isaiah 55:6,7 So you should look for the LORD before it is too late. You should call to him now, while he is near.
I’m sure that you can look back on your life and see times of missed opportunity: times when you could have done something, but you waited, you waited, you waited, and then one day the opportunity was gone. We all have missed opportunities in our past.
God-given opportunities are typically time-sensitive. There’s a window, and if we don’t take the opportunity that God sets before us while that window is open, eventually He shuts it. And when God shuts that window, let me tell you, it’s shut! And if He still needs this thing, this job to be done, He’ll just find someone else or something else to do it.
On Jesus’ triumphal entry to Jerusalem, people were crying out in worship– Hosanna in the highest – but the Pharisees told Jesus to rebuke them. What did He say?
Luke 19:40 I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.
Are you getting this? Maybe God’s set an opportunity before you in this season. Perhaps you’re equivocating … Should I … Shouldn’t I? And in all of that there’s a sense of inertia. Complacency sets in. Life’s comfortable. The idea of stepping out into something new, something uncertain, something risky, something that’s going to require a lot of faith, doesn’t look all that attractive right in that moment when you have to take that first step.
Here’s what I believe God is speaking into that decision, that choice, for some of us today:
Isaiah 55:6,7 So you should look for the LORD before it is too late. You should call to him now, while he is near.
So if you’re equivocating, seek the Lord. Call out to Him now while He’s near. Because tomorrow, He might decide to find some stones to get the job done.
Take the opportunity to draw close to Him before it’s too late.
That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
