Perhaps
your life has gotten off course. You
find yourself
complaining and wishing you were
experiencing a different set of
circumstances. In the mean time; time
is getting away. You are running out
of time to do and be what God desires
for you now. The Bible says: So teach
us to number our days, that we may apply
our hearts unto wisdom (Psalm
90:12). The harsh reality to our
complaining for lack of time is that we
have not confessed and truly repented,
or turned away from bad management of
our time. Time is running out.
Yesterday is gone; tomorrow
is uncertain (Prov.
27:1), today is truly your only
opportunity to resolve yourself to the
will of God.
It
wasn't until David reached the gutter of
despair, until he was facing the loss of
his family and death by mutiny, that he
returned to the Lord. Just when
time was running out, David repented,
recalled how God had blessed him in the
past, refocused his attention to God's
power, remembered God's promises, and
resolved to trust God. He simply made up
his mind that he would follow and obey
the Lord whatever the cost in the
present.
Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
