Denial and Delay. ( Luke 12 v 13 - 21)

 Recently I my met with 2 cousins,John and Brian they both live in Dublin,and in conversation with Brian he told me about his medical history,he had two occurrences with cancer, but with treatment he has come through it,he mentioned that they had caught the disease early on,and that saved his life. But then he mentioned his father my uncle Jack,who died of prostate cancer,that was sad,but he added that his father ignored the early symptoms,and the result was the cancer could not be treated,so he died.Not so long ago a neighbour  of mine,who suffered from diabetes,instead of watching what he ate,he behaved foolishly,and when he got an injury to his leg,he acted carelessly not getting it looked at and it turned to  gangrene,he  became ill was rushed to the hospital,but he died on the operating table. It is all very sad and brings a warning to all us to have  things checked out ,like my cousin did. Denial and delay has consequences that can be very serious,let us move it into the spiritual,let us consider denial, the Bible says we are all sinners,but so many people don't take that serious, don't want to know about it.Then there is delay ,the old hymn speaks of one more convenient day,so instead of trusting  Jesus,they end up in a lost eternity. The Bible tells us now is the day of salvation,the important word is now,don't delay trust the Saviour now,you may not have some more convenient day
