“For he says, ‘In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.’ Behold, NOW is the favorable time; behold, NOW is the day of salvation,” 2 Corinthians 6:2 NKJV. Like most Christians, I have mistakenly attempted to jump ahead of the LORD’S WILL so many times that I sometimes struggle with His “NOW”. But just like we must learn to trust His “WAIT”, we must be ready to move when He says: “NOW is the favorable time!” A few times in life, by God’s grace, I’ve moved forward at exactly the right moment. WOW, what a difference His “Time of Favor” makes! If you can relate, pray about it, maybe it’s time to GET YOUR "NOW" BACK! LORD, thank You for Your Word that never fails to provoke us to love and good works. Keep me in a place of willing obedience to wait or go.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
