Time to Choose

6 Nov

The results are in! The votes have been cast, the majority of the ballots have been counted, and the people have spoken. For many it is a day of rejoicing, for many others a day of disappointment and trepidation, “men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth…”. (Luke 21:26 NKJV).

Whichever camp you find yourself in this morning, one thing is certain. This election is over. What’s done is done and now we must move forward, looking toward the future. There’s no turning back. No second chances.

And yet there is! A second chance, I mean. No, not for the election. That’s over and done. But YOU still have a second chance, a second chance to give your heart to Jesus, another opportunity to make Him the Lord of your life, to claim the home in Heaven He has prepared for you.

You still have time to make your choice, but don’t wait! Just like elections, God has set a day of reckoning. When that day comes, there will be no more second chances, “for at the appointed time the end shall be.” (Daniel 8:19).

At that time, a voice will declare in the Heavenly courts, “He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”” (Revelation 22:11).

But do not despair. That day has not yet come, but it is coming soon. Now is the time to cast your vote for Jesus. “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” (2 Corinthians 6:2). Now is the time “to make your call and election sure.” (2 Peter 1:10).

Don’t wait, my friend. Choose Jesus today. Give Him not just your vote, but your life, right now, and every day till He comes. If you do then you need not fear tomorrow, because you can know without a doubt you are on the winning side.
