Preface: I have bringing this verse to mind every day....Psalm 92: 14,15 NKJV...
"They shall bear fruit in old age;
They shall be fresh and flourishing,
To declare that the LORD is upright;
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him."
I came home yesterday from a trip to one of the few Christian bookstores remaining....this one in Ohio....and I had a new children's Bible for our grandson. I told my wife that I would have it in the mail the next day....(that being today....and it has been mailed....it should get to him this coming Wednesday) She thought that I might save it for when we visit next. My response was typical....as I told her that we do not have time to wait for things like giving a person a Bible. I also stopped at an Ohio Barnes & Noble and bought a Lego City for him. Now that can wait until we visit next. While in that B&N I picked up a copy of the latest issue of Christianity Today. In it was an article where I found out about a new book by David Platt....Don't Hold Back....Leaving Behind the American Gospel to follow Jesus Fully. I called around....and travelled again this morning to a B&N to get it. I'm only half-way through it....but recommending it....you see....you need to hear about this book....and we don't have time to wait for me to finish it first! I'm not highlighting this phrase...."We don't have time"....because of the day or the month or the year that we live in....but to point out that it would only be logical....to prioritize the gospel....and to pray now and not later.
