This week Noah and Lily are away at camp and I always think I'll enjoy the quiet, but I never do. At first it's nice to just wake up and take care of what I need to do, but by the middle of the week, I miss them. Lord knows they don't miss me though. They can't....they're so busy having fun up there there's not a chance they're missing home.
This week it's just Brooke and I for school. She is definitely enjoying the peace and quiet. No one to get in her way or bother her, but I think the quietness of the house is getting to her..... albeit secretly!
I started to ponder a question yesterday that I often come to when my salvation birthday comes around. The only thing is that it was back in May, but I was reading an email and the question was this...."How did God get your attention towards salvation?" For me it was the near ruin of my marriage and family. For Lily it was the death of a bunny Michael rescued from a hot shed one day, but it died the next day. The fear of dying and going to hell scared Noah so much he prayed for Jesus to save him in the bathroom!
What about you? Where were you when God pricked your heart and you realized, "Oh no! I'm not one of His, I never asked Jesus to save me and come into my heart! I NEED a Saviour!"
The apostle Paul was on the road to Damascus when Jesus met him. We should all have a story to tell of when Jesus saved us from ourselves and a fiery hell. If you do not it doesn't have to stay that way.
The first thing you have to do is Admit your a sinner. "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23.
Then know that "...the wages (payment) for sin is death" Romans 6:23. If Jesus did not come to pay for our sins we would be doomed to hell today! ".....Christ died for us" Romans 5:8.
Next and this is where people miss it and it's too important to miss...."For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" Romans 10:13.
Admit, confess, and call on Jesus to save you. You only need to do this once in your life and you need to mean it! Unfortunately for us adults, it takes so much to bring us to our knees and see our desperate need for a Saviour. Please don't wait. The bible says we don't know what a day may bring, it could be your last. Make it a good one......make it the best one yet!!
