Tuesday- Today, don't "act" like a Christian.. Be a Christian! There is a big difference!
WAITING TILL THE LAST VERSE!
There is always a story of last minute things that we do.. we as a whole, do not make decisions until the last moment. I am just as guilty as any other on this..
The last verse of the invitation song... the feeling of the glued feet to the floor.. the holding on to the back of the bench , holding the song book.. looking down at the floor, just knowing that the preacher is looking directly at you, just as the whole church is also.. all of this is just as most of us felt the day, the time, the second , that grace reached our heart,, and we were ready to give our soul to God and accept Jesus Christ as our Savior... That holding back is satans last chance to change your mind,, to keep you in his stable, as his workhorse,, yes satan is in the church ,, working harder for you and I than any other place in the world, for he has most of it already.
Then as you feel your foot move,, slowly slide out into the aisle,, you are then and there a winner,, and satan just lost, for as that foot moves, so does the other one follow... the heart jumps right up there in the top of your head,, you feel just a little "giddy",,but overall, there is a drain of the complete body,, a drain of none like it, ever to happen then nor again...
Now , we all have waited until the last moment to walk that aisle... but we have done it.. I think of those who have never walked, those who will never walk.. I pray for them,, do you? If you walked in good faith , actually giving yourself to God then you will be concerned and pray for those who are still
WAITING UNTIL LAST,,,
MAYBE TOO LATE!
God, I pray to You this morning, that all will say YES , to You, and walk and bow to You, and accept Your Son, before it is too late.. amen
