Nov 5 Devo
At the first sign of smoke the man rushed to the store to buy a fire extinguisher, but when he returned, the fire had already destroyed the house.
Another man’s doctor warned him of a bad heart condition, and immediately the man found an insurance salesman, but the salesman refused him, and the man was left uninsured; his wife and children would not be financially protected.
Then there was another man who had a Bible and had friends who regularly encouraged him to read it, and to come to Christ. Yet, he resisted and his funeral has now passed.
These things are a reminder that there are some things we must do now, and not wait till later. When the battle begins, it’s too late to train troops. When the flood waters rise, it’s too late to build your house on higher ground. The day of the operation is too late to take a vitamin and exercise.
Now is the time to make things right with Christ, repent of sin, and worship God for we never know when it will be too late!
