December 28

When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. — Mark 14:41 BSB

We need to learn the importance of timeliness in doing good. Many things, if done today, can be great blessings—but if delayed until tomorrow, the opportunity may be lost. Today, the sick neighbor needs your visit; tomorrow, he may be well or may have passed away. Today, the person tempted by sin needs your encouragement; tomorrow, they may have already fallen. "Tomorrow" is a dangerous word, and many hopes have been wrecked by it.
