For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
(2 Corinthians 6:2)
(2 Corinthians 6:2)
Today's Morsel: How much thought do you put on the word "Now"? Most people that read the Bible go through their day not giving too much thought to the word "Now". The word "Now" can mean that something has already happened or that we need to do something ourselves now. A parent who is upset with their child's wrong behavior may say, "I want you to do what I told you, NOW!!!!"; calling for immediate action on the child's part. American playwright Arthur Miller said, "The word 'Now' is like a bomb through the window, and it ticks." Paul said that now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. I think he meant that because tomorrow is not promised we need to act now because it is the accepted time. It means to do it right now. Do you need salvation in your life today? If so, today, NOW, is the time. Read and apply Acts 2:38-42, as that is what 3,000 people did on the Day of Pentecost when they were told to save themselves from this untoward generation. They acted immediately upon the "Now" that Peter spoke of. Accepting salvation now can prevent accepting hell later?
Sing: Oh my brother are you ready for the call? To crown your Savior King and Lord of all? The Kingdoms of this world, shall soon before Him fall, we shall see the King when He comes.
We shall see the King, we shall see the King, we shall see the King when He comes, He's coming in power, we'll hail the blessed hour, we shall see the King when He comes.
Thought for Today: "The word "Now is like a bomb through the window, and it ticks." Arthur Miller, American playwright
