2Co 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
We are Always Prone to put the accent there.
It is very hard to grasp the True splendor of the present.
Today seems insignificant; tomorrow shall be the real day for us....
God Never speaks that way.
God's Bible Never speaks that way.
It tells us that the Present is divine, and lays the whole emphasis upon today: "NOW is the Accepted Time."
And the Holy Ghost is saying, Today.
And this is the Arch-Device of the Arch-Tempter...
In every life, for every start and every noble deed, God says, Today.
In every life for every start and every noble deed, the devil says, Tomorrow.
Is it conversion? Today, says God: Tomorrow, whispers Satan.
Is it the breaking with that sin? Tomorrow.
Is it the starting on a higher level? Tomorrow.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, always tomorrow!
Till by tomorrow's road we are at Never-and the chance is gone, and the dream has vanished, and the hope is dead.
O friends, young men and women, be not ignorant of that device.
It will never be easier to come to Christ than now.
It will never be easier to make the start than now.
God says, Today, Tonight!
And God who says it is here to give the power that can save Now, and can cleanse Now, and can send you home Now with old things passed away and all things New in Jesus Christ.
