THE TIME IS SHORT

Deuteronomy 4:39-40
39 Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. 40 Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the LORD your God gives you for all time.

I believe that the Day of the Lord is rapidly approaching. It may be years and decades off, but I believe the natural disasters, the wars, and the economic struggles of recent years are God's shaking of America and this world to get our attention and to get us to return to Him.

Time is short. Even if the return of Christ occurs a thousand years from now, our time here is limited to our mortal lifespans. Even if the virus was eradicated today, our eternity looms, and we must decide whether to receive God's grace through Christ or to reject His offer of salvation and the forgiveness of sins.

As these verses say, it is time to acknowledge Him, to seek Him, to take to heart today that there is no other God nor any other way to salvation. God calls to us in our pain. He calls to us in the storm. He calls to us in the midst of what is going on in our lives right now, whether good or bad.

Heed His call, acknowledge Him, seek His presence, and come to Him in repentance and belief in Jesus' atoning death on the cross for you today.
