what better time than now?
Posted October 18, 2007
as i (mitch) dwell on all the Lord has done for me i cannot help but be i awe of how glorious He is. i look at how i have lived my life before i was a christian and how even now i struggle to live a life worthy of the calling i have received. i continue to question if what i am doing is the right thing or if God is really telling me to do something else. i wonder if i am even in the right mindset, giving Him all the glory instead of myself.
all that i can come to is this; what better time than now? all we really have is the moment in which we are living in. we can't say we have the future because it is not in our hands and we can't say that we have the past because it has already left us. all we have is right now. how we choose to live, what we choose to say and what we live to do, it's all right now.
at this very moment i am at work (or at least getting ready to get off work waiting for my relief :) ) and for some reason i feel an incredible excitement to go and do something for God. maybe spend some time with him, have fellowship with others or just be still and know. but what i have is right now, and right now i praise God for all the blessings He has given to me, all the hardships that He has given me, and for everything that is to come that i don't have yet. i want to give God all the glory and none to myself.
what better time than now? to live a life worthy of the calling that you have received from Him.
what better time than now? to gaze upon His face in awe and wonder.
what better time than now? to live, to pray, to read, to laugh, to dance, to care.
what better time than now? to tell someone you love them, to pray for them knowing that you will be answered.
what better time than now? right now.
