GOD DOES NOT WEAR A WRISTWATCH



God Does Not Wear A Wristwatch


Do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 2Pe 3:8-9


"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. Isa 55:8-11


The second hand of the clock has no value or currency in God's economy of eternity. We, you and I who presently have the breath of life in us, it is our impossible task to divorce ourselves from the cruelty of the ticking clock. Fifty to ninety years of earthly life, then, in the single circuit of the pendulum, we breathe our last and perish from the face of the earth. Many, much earlier in their short lives. What then?


Our God, our Lord is binary as He deals with us and His heavenly host. He is Holy or He is not. He is immutable or He is not. He is eternal or He is not! There is no middle ground. No mid-point where one can straddle that proverbial fence. You either believe or you do not. Saved or unsaved, it is one or the other. At the last second, when your time on earth is exhausted, and you breathe no more, what ever your status with the Lord God is at that precious moment, your eternity will be a reflection of that choice. A choice YOU made, not Jesus.

God has given you years to make up your mind. My deepest prayer is that you accept His gift of an eternity of joy and peace in His presence, in His light. Before that last breath overcomes your ability to select. Call on Jesus, ask Him to come into your heart, wash you clean through the blood He shed that you and I might be free of death and of sin. Be filled with the Holy Spirit, Love Him because He loves you!


For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all. Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! Rom 11:32-33


God does not wear a wristwatch. But he knows when your time has expired.
