Now Is the TIme

Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.  James 4:14

 

Billy Bray, a godly clergyman of another generation, sat by the bedside of a dying Christian who had been very shy about his testimony for Christ during his life. The dying man said, "If I had the power I'd shout glory to God." Billy Bray answered, "It's a pity you didn't shout glory when you had the power."

I wonder how many of us will, looking back over a lifetime of wasted opportunities and ineffective witness, weep because we did not allow God to use us as He wanted. "I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work" (James 9:4).

If ever we are to study the Scriptures, if ever we are to spend time in prayer, if ever we are to win souls for Christ, if ever we are to invest our finances for His Kingdom--it must be now.
