Romans 2:4 - "Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?"

He has promised to be with you always, even to the end of the age. Remember that He is your Help and your Shield! His unfailing Love guarantees that He is available to you. No matter what is happening around you or how bad you feel, voice your trust in Christ! Put your hope fully in Him and He will see you through Psalms 33:20 "We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield." That's a promise!
Time. Time is like land. They don’t make it anymore. And like that land, you want to do something with it. Build a home. Build a life. Work it.
Suddenly, the life you built isn’t the one you envisioned. It’s not that it’s bad. Just somewhere along the way, maybe you zigged when you should’ve zagged only to think there’s “plenty of time.”
Plenty of time really isn’t a thing. Think about that report that’s due or that exam that has to be taken. You were told a month ahead and thought you had plenty of time. Or, that trip to the doctor where he said to lose twenty pounds before your next visit. Now it’s the day before and you find that “plenty of time” has become “out of time.”
As time passes, "plenty of time" moves even faster. Ironically, we catch up to it but not until our hair is grayer and old “plenty of time” has slowed down.
The apostle Paul said, “This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed." With respect to salvation, we don’t have plenty of time. Our life on this earth is limited and comes with no guarantees. Our salvation, our testimony and our witness for the Lord must be prioritized and emphasized. And, if it’s important to you, you must make it a daily priority.
Here’s something else. If tomorrow comes, it'll be full of its own surprises, its own stresses and its own distractions. If someone needs to know that you love them, tell them today. If you've made a promise, keep it today. If something needs fixing, do it today. Your work is never done so, if it needs doing, do it today and do it quickly.
“Plenty of time" is almost here
