THE SOONER WE TURN BACK TO THE LORD, THE BETTER
Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them” – Ecclesiastes 12:1
Sometimes we may think it is better for us to enjoy life while young and we will come to God in our later years. But these are just lies of the enemy, to get one to postpone their salvation moment until there is no other chance to do it. None of us can be sure when we will leave this earth. It is time to seriously check our spiritual condition and make all the changes or adjustments needed to be done, so that we would be truly standing right in the eyes of God.
Being right with God is the best place to be and we need to never forget that we are not our own, we belong to God. He created us and His Son died in our place to redeem us. If we choose the so called “pleasures of this life,” instead of obeying God, the price is very high and the longer we wait to decide to repent and follow Jesus, the less chances we have to be willing to do it. If we choose to follow the lusts of our flesh, instead of living right for God, we will be empty handed at the end and eternally damned.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Eternal Father, search my heart and reveal to me what I need to get rid of or change. Please forgive me for all the times that I believed the lies of the enemy and followed the desires of my carnal nature. Thank You Lord, that since my surrender to You, I’ve been blessed with true happiness. I want so much to please You Father God, please help me to do it. The tranquil joy and strength that come from You are real, long lasting and have good effects. Thank You Lord for adopting me to sonship. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen
