Already Gone

  Some folks like to arrive at the airport minutes before the plane is about to take off. Some don’t get to the show till the curtain has gone up. Some people will only step out on the platform when the train is spewing smoke.

  The only problem is that if you do that, you run the real risk of the gate being closed, the doors being shut, and the train is departing the station.

  While that is not a wise way to go about life, it is a much worse way to approach God. Many will wait to seek forgiveness from God till the absolute last moment. They assume there will always be time.

  Yet let’s consider what the psalmist tells us in Psalm 32.  As he espouses the goodness of being forgiven, he warns in verse 6, “Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him.” He warns that waiting till later may mean it’s too late!

 Don’t wait till the rush, it might be too late! Seek God now. Tomorrow is too late. Now is all we have. Your next moment might already be gone.
