There’s a song called “God Likes to Work When Nothing Will” that has a great message. However, I would rather say God just likes to work. His timing is flawless and his work is never ending. He tries everyday to change lives with tender mercy and compassion along with his previous forgiveness. The grace He offers as His free gift is matchless in the existence we live in.

He continually reminds of those things being available at any time. The problem is that we don’t know just how much time we have,

We could very well be taking our last breath as we speak. That’s why it is imperative to warn you with this information.

The Bible say in Romans 8:1: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”

He was speaking to the people about grace in Chapter 5 and 6, giving instructions on becoming a Christian and also preparing them to be able to war against sin as Christians.

Time is of the essence as we live each day and we are not taking it very seriously. The term now in verse one is referring to the time we have accepted Jesus as savior.

Galatians 3:27 says: “For as many as have been baptized in Christ have been clothed in him.”

Our focus seems to diminish here for some reason. We become overwhelmed with the goodness of God and start forgetting what we committed to. God allows this time right now to serve him and produce fruit for him, but we are still acting like children as we continue to except from him.

God owes nothing to us. He has done more than he should have already. When are we going to realize what a blessed opportunity our service to him can be?

We don’t really worry about time. We just keep as-suming life will go on no matter what. This is ignorance on our part and we are becoming more foolish each day if we think God is not going to end this world someday.

I know there are people who don’t agree with this fact by may I mention with complete respect for the opinions of others who do not believe in God that I do not believe in people who do not believe in God. If we are threatened with true fear in any way our most natural instinct is to call on God. It’s okay. That’s what we are supposed to do. It’s in our genes. The good news in all of this is that all of us still have a chance to be in that number which accept and acknowledge his presence and his authority as creator of all things.

You, friend, still have the opportunity to know him. We have a relationships which rivals none. God has even made it known that those who wait until the eleventh hour can still respond. We have waited long enough. Come now even if it is just in the nick of time.
