Redeeming the time
Anyone with a brain in their head must have noticed that time is moving at a far greater pace than it once did!
While this may be good news to those that are anticipating a vacation, school breaks, graduations, etc This is not good news for those that refuse to get started with their purpose for being here on earth. From January 2015 to present, many of us have lost love ones or know of well known folks that we never would have imagined would have met their demise this year.
Nevertheless, we stay committed to the routine of plastering the photos of our deceased love ones all over social media expressing our loss but still we behave as if we have this great amount of time to get our business in order. I am sure those that have passed on within this year have also attended funerals of their friends and family members probably not realizing that their next visit at the cemetery would be in celebration of their life here on earth.
The purpose of this post is to ask you the reader, how much longer will you continue to procrastinate with getting your relationship with God in order? How much longer will you remain committed to your plans compared to the purpose as to why God allowed you to be here?
Scripture has clearly stated that the living know that they will die, but the dead knows nothing; the dead have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten. Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun, Eccl 9:5-6.
With the above scripture in mind, one must take into account that with the swiftness of the movement of time I think it is safe to say that time is running out for all of us for none of us know when the time for us to cease to exist will occur. However, while we may cease to exist here we are very much existing somewhere else and there is absolutely nothing our friends and love ones can do on earth that can change where we will end up after death.
Why not ask God right now, “Lord, what is my reason for being here”? Father am I on the right course that you originally intended me to be on? Father, help me to align myself with the destiny you have chosen for me. For those of you that do not have a relationship with God and his son Jesus Christ, then why don’t you fix that right now while you have the opportunity to do so as a living person. Like the scripture said, the dead will have no more participation in the earth and eventually their names will be forgotten.
It is my prayer this evening that this post will convict you to the point of change and that everything that’s going on around you and by extension the world is pointing and challenging your thinking to the return of Jesus Christ or your time coming to an abrupt end.

Morning Met..
Thanks for this Something everyone needs to spend time thinking about.
A word to the wise! Get the house in order, get right with God. Amen.
A very blessed AM to all…
This morning’s devotion is so POWERFUL and on POINT!!!
It’s WONDERFUL & SELF-FULFILLING to KNOW who YOU are IN JESUS CHRIST… For without Him we’re ONLY merely existing…
Acts 17:28Amplified Bible (AMP)
28 For in Him we live and move and have our being; as even some of your [own] poets have said, For we are also His offspring.
JESUS didn’t come for us to just barely make a LIVING, He came so we could have LIFE!!!
John 10:10Amplified Bible (AMP)
10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it [a]overflows).
John 15:5Amplified Bible (AMP)
5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.
I THANK GOD THIS & EVERYDAY FOR MY SALVATION!!! THAT MY WORST DAY WITH HIM IS BETTER THAN ANY BEST DAYS WITHOUT HIM… THAT ALL OF MY SINS–PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE, SINS ARE FORGIVEN…
THAT I KNOW WHY I’M HERE ON THIS OTHER SIDE OF HEAVEN <>AND THAT IS TO BE ABOUT MY FATHER’S BUSINESS…TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THIS OVER-THE-TOP NEWS..THIS TOO-GOOD-TO-BE-TRUE-NEWS… THAT GOD & SINNER’S RECONCILED!!!
I FELL LIKE PREACHING UP IN ERE THIS MORNING!!! :alay
I pray that everyone would ACCEPT JESUS as LORD & SAVIOR… For we could do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING without Him, but we can do ALL THINGS THROUGH Him Who gives us strength!!!
GOD RICHEST BLESSINGS IN ABUNDANCE!!! :peluk

I have to say the daily devotions has been a beacon of light in my life. I grew up in the church but once I came to the US at 15 I didn’t go to church because my mom wasn’t a church person. Once I had my kids I started going to church so I can set a foundation for them. I went to church faithfully every Sunday but found it very hard to connect with the word. But this daily devotion have opened my eyes & ears and has touched my soul. Thanks Met.
Youre welcome :kiss
Good Evening Metty & JMG family. Amen. This post is on point! As the Hymn says:
“Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me.
Why should we tarry when Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me…..”
