Today we should redeem our time...
Today we should redeem our time and our days that were wasted in the past. We should repent for how we did things. We have had a very passive attitude, but this is a very good time to be proactive. We are not like the worldly people. We have understanding and we have hope. We are the children of this eternal God!
Salvation was given to us, which is eternal. We have eternal life. We don’t need to be too worried or too concerned by the situation. While we are still alive, we should take time to reconsider where the areas we fall short are. Our hearts should be soft. We are thankful we still have time. We pray, “Lord, may You come quickly.” We pray, “Prepare Your church.”
We all need to come out of our iniquity, our sin. There are many things we should repent for and many things we should confess to our Lord while we still have time. We need to be proactive. Forget about yesterday. Redeem the time today. There are many things we need to be clear on before the Lord. Our death, the wages of sin, should be redeemed by the Lord’s redemption. We should claim the Lord’s salvation today, but how?
Individually, each of us needs to go to the Lord. Salvation, in one respect, is initiated by our personal relationship with the Lord. This can never be taught, forced or formulated. People may have had an experience with the Lord, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they can have Him. We all need to be awakened to start building our relationship with the Lord. You should never have a problem going to the Lord and spending time there with Him, especially in these days. Don’t wait until time runs out. You will be busy and occupied trying to escape all of the turbulences and distractions. It’s good we all are staying home and have time to be sober. May the Lord redeem our time.
