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.

Missing opportunities to serve the Lord can be tragic. When an invitation comes from God, the time to respond is now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_counters\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-small.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:2px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_c=new Array(\"twitter\",\"facebook_like\",\"facebook_send\",\"google\",\"pinterest\",\"linkedin\");var hupso_counters_lang = \"en_US\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"harryhofman\";var hupso_url_c=\"\";var hupso_title_c=\"Exp%20God%2C%20Aug%207%20-%20Now%21\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/counters.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>Then another of His disciples said to Him, \u201cLord, let me first go and bury my father.\u201d\u00a0 Mt 8:21 Often our struggle as Christians is not in deciding whether we should obey Christ but in obeying immediately&#8230; &#8230;the concerns of this life were competing for priority with obedience to God.
