Topic: Needless Waiting [Sunday September 13, 2015]
Text: Ecclesiastes 11:4-6
Key Verse: “He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap” (Ecclesiastes 11:4).
It is said that procrastination is the thief of time. Those who put forward to another day what ought to have been done today end up having no time at all to do anything. They turn out to be pitiable failures.
Technology has equipped modern man with the ability to predict, to a reasonable extent, nature and climatic conditions. Science of meteorology predicts with a certain amount of precision, what the weather conditions could be over a certain period. In our text, king Solomon declared that life involves both risk and opportunity. Because of the uncertainty of life, man ought to develop the spirit of trust and adventure in his daily endeavours.
There can never be a perfect condition when there will be neither rain, nor wind, nor sun. Such a condition would breed laziness, inactivity and spiritual boredom. Even in the world, there is an axiom that if there is no venture, there will be no success. People who wait till everything is perfect before they attempt anything good therefore, are convenient idlers. The sinner today does not need a convenient time to seek the Lord and repent. No time is more convenient than now. The same is true of believers.
They do not need a convenient time to serve the Lord, read their Bible, visit the sick and attend to the needy. The result and reward of what we do today may be in time to come. Let us therefore go out and face life’s challenges with godly enthusiasm, The Bible IN ONE YEAR hard work and trust.
Thought for the day: The indolent will surely suffer lack.
