This past week I watched two TV series that were new to me. For whatever reason, I hadn’t watched them before. One is in its 2nd season, the other in its first. I liked them both a lot and now I’m wanting to catch up with the series and watch previous episodes. I hope to find them online or On Demand. I can at least enjoy them moving forward. I thought how that might relate to finding God. According to this scripture God is patient and always willing to save the one who turns to him, no matter how late in life. I know there are some people who do not believe in God and do not expect anything after death. I believe they will get much more than they expected one way or the other! Others believe in God but put off making a decision for salvation until finally their need for God outweighs their resistance to God. Even though we can come to God late in life, unlike with TV series, there is no catching up. People miss the blessings a relationship with God brings in this lifetime. They miss so much. We rejoice if they come to eternal life, but is that really the more important thing? Or is the more important thing coming into the Kingdom now and becoming part of the body of Christ, carrying on his work in this world? I vote for the latter.
God of Heaven, We pray that you would continue to draw all to you. We pray for those who don’t yet know the joy of being a part of your family and of having Christ as Lord and Savior. Thank you for blessing us with your love and grace. Thank you for your patience. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
