Thought of the Day !!

If you wait until the wind and the weather are just right, you will never plant anything and never harvest anything.
Ecclesiastes 11:4 (TEV)

Good morning, afternoon or evening. I'm back! The last two weeks in Laurel, MS working with the hurricane relief effort has been an awesome experience in many ways. But to be quite honest, I'm exhausted. This became evident yesterday when I had problems concentrating during an administrative council meeting. So just as I was glad that God called me to be used by Him, I am just as glad to be home and back to my routine.

Sometimes we decide to wait until things are just right to do what the Lord tells us to do right now. Many people want to wait till later to become a Christian because they're having a good time with living in the world. Others try to wait until they're better Christians before going to church. Still others think that they can work on that habitat home or go on that mission trip next year when there will be more money. And then there are those who've missed the chance to share Christ with someone because they didn't feel comfortable at the time.

I will have to come clean with you this morning as I write this. I have been guilty of all these over my lifetime. But I tend to believe I'm not alone. We all want to do good things as Christians. But how often do we put them off until just the right time. If we're not careful, that right time will never come again and we'll realize we missed the opportunity to serve God and our risen Savior.

Don't put off till tomorrow what God desires of you today.

In the love of Christ,
greg
