Exp God, Aug 7 – Now!

Then another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”  Mt 8:21

Often our struggle as Christians is not in deciding whether we should obey Christ but in obeying immediately…

…the concerns of this life were competing for priority with obedience to God.

Timing our obedience is crucial. Invitations from God come with a limited opportunity to respond. Some opportunities to serve Him, if not accepted immediately, will be lost. Occasions to minister to others may pass us by. When God invites us to intercede for someone, it may be critical that we stop what we are doing and immediately adjust our lives to what God is doing. Missing opportunities to serve the Lord can be tragic. When an invitation comes from God, the time to respond is now.
