Not now,later. ( Isaiah 55 v 6 - 7 )

  Dr Piers Steel an expert at procrastination recently spoke on how one can stop daily dithering,that's what procrastination involves. Everyone is guilty of putting off doing what they should,not now but later.I remember a minister telling about a mother who used to stand at the foot of the stairs each morning,calling to her son to get up out of bed,she would hear him reply,'I'm coming,' but he kept lying on in bed. In her frustration  she cried out by saying,'will you stop your coming and come'.Recently a well known footballer,was disciplined by his club,for being late for his training session,seemingly he had fallen asleep. In Isaiah 1 v18 God is speaking,the first two words He say's is ,'Come now''. here is an invitation from God,come,and it is followed by ,'Now'.there is an urgency in this invitation,but alas we fail to respond, why the urgency?,if you are not a Christian,you stand in grave danger of going to a lost eternity.The minister was asking the congregation ,to shout out the blessings they had received,a lady who had been a Muslim,called out that she had got saved.In the light of the  uncertainty of life and the certainty of  death,I urge you to seek the Lord  Jesus while He can be found,call on Him while he is near(Isaiah 55 v 6)
