The idea of not being spiritually prepared to trust Christ because of a lack of interest is like being told that you have been scheduled to box a champion fighter this coming Friday night, even though you have no boxing experience and are in terrible physical condition. It’s too late to start training, and you will easily be knocked out with one punch.
Another scenario would be that you have been given one week to compete in a bodybuilding contest against other contenders who have been lifting weights for years. You have never lifted weights and are overweight. It will be obvious to everyone that you did not take this seriously.
The same is true with knowing God and his Word. Today is the day to start building faith so that we will be ready to stand strong when trials and tribulations come.
Remember the song “Wasted Days and Wasted Nights”? There could not be a more clear explanation of our lives if we refuse to invest our time seeking God’s presence. Solomon told the Almighty that above all things he wanted more wisdom and understanding, and the Lord was very pleased. How would you respond to God if he were to ask you what you would want more than anything in the world?
No person is called to speak for God who has not first listened to him. We do not serve, write, nor speak because we want to say something. We communicate because we have something to say.
