Proverbs 27:1---“Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.”
J. L. Ralston said: "Our most dangerous
enemy on this side of the Atlantic is the idea that we have plenty of
time." This is equally true in the matter of preparedness for eternity—as
well as for our country! Because we don’t know when we may lose the use of our
faculties, because we have no lease of our lives, because we don’t know not
when the Lord Jesus will come again, and because the Word commands it, we
should act NOW. After serving the Lord for more than 35 years as a pastor I
suppose the greatest excuse I’ve ever encountered is, “I’ll be saved one day.”
Many I heard who made that statement to me is now absent from their body and
gone. As far as I know one day never came for some of them, they departed this
life without giving their heart to the Lord. Our text says Boast not of
tomorrow, and I’ve said throughout my ministry that tomorrow never comes for
when it gets here it’s today. The Bible says, “In an acceptable time I have
heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the
accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. (2nd Corinthians 6:2)
Today, Now is the day of salvation, tomorrow will be too late, one day will be
too late. NOW is the Time! Choose This Day Who You Will Serve! Jesus’
Invitation has never changed it is still Come unto Me.
