The calendar says it’s fall, but the temperature says winter. It’s cold outside.
“About the times and the seasons: Brothers and sisters, you do not need anything to be written to you” (1 Thessalonians 5:1 CSB). We’re living in a time when God is not first in the lives of many. All you need to do is just look around. One sign I noticed every Sunday morning—very little traffic. I can drive to church in less than 15 minutes and that includes five stop lights. Monday morning, I may not get past the first stoplight in that amount of time.
During my time with the Lord today, He reminded me of a portion of scripture, “The times and the seasons.” Most people are concerned about giving, that is, giving to others. My question to myself refers to me and me only. What am I doing for God? I could ask you the same question, but that’s your business.
I know what I do for the Lord, but is it enough? Do my actions please my Savior? It seems much of my time is about writing things relating to Jesus. I expressed this thought to a friend. He reminded me that my writing is reaching people that I will never meet or see. But still, to whom am I speaking? That’s the thought that burns in my mind.
Now that I’ve shared my personal life and vented, what am I going to do? The answer will be evident in the future. But this I do know: yesterday is past, and today will be the same. I better plan for a more productive tomorrow in my service for the King of kings.
I hope my reflections will somehow stimulate you to do what only you can do for Christ.
Maybe we’ll do more sharing for Jesus’ sake.
