You know what time it is? It’s time to get up and get it together! That’s what Paul says to us Romans 13:11. We have the best intentions of getting closer to God, to walking the walk, and talking the talk, but we procrastinate. We’ll get to it when we’re not so busy. After the kids start school…after this project is finished, after..after…after. Paul says do it right now. What are you waiting for?
Paul wants us to lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Set aside the world and grab a hold of God. This is a matter of primary focus. What are your priorities? Family? Work? Friends? Those are all important, but if you set God as your primary focus, you will be able to see that these things will be handled in a much better way, a way that is pleasing to God and those close to you. “Put on the Lord Jesus” Paul says and let Him guide you through your day, obeying God’s law of love in all things, for Paul says “the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. “(13:8)
The night is far gone and the day is near, the time is now. Take the step; make your move.
God of Grace and Mercy, look kindly upon me, poor as I am, and give me the desire to draw closer to you. Increase my faith and my love for you, and help me to live my life in the light of your love. Amen
