Recently I was looking at my memories on Facebook and I came across a post I shared in 2021. It still really stirs my heart so I wanted to share it again and expand on what I originally wrote.

From 2021

Last night I was thinking about Noah and the Ark. I was wondering how many people laughed at him and just flat out did not believe in God anymore or had never believed in Him. They had lost their faith, they had lost their way, they had lost their hope, and in the process lost their belief in God. When the rain started and the door of the Ark was closed I wonder how many people had their hearts just drop because immediately they realized they had missed the mark and they realized that God was real. They realized it was to late for them. There was no more time and there was no do over.

Then I started thinking about how that can apply to today’s time. How many people don’t believe in God, how many people don’t believe in heaven and hell, and how many people don’t believe Jesus Christ is coming back for His people. How many have twisted the message of the gospel so much it is not even recognizable. It is so twisted and manipulated that sin is not even confronted anymore. How many people will realize, when they take their last breath, how wrong they were and how they had believed something false. And in that moment just like with Noah when the door shut it was final and there was no second guessing, there was no repenting, there was no changing their mind. When the door was shut it was shut.

Just like back in Noah’s time when we take our final breath and step into eternity it will not be the time to decide if we believe in God or not. It will be to late. Today is the day of salvation, today is the day to seek Him, today is the day to settle in our hearts to serve God fully, surrender to Him, and walk with Him because there will be a moment in time when it is too late and we won’t have a second chance. The doors will be closed and we won’t have time to change our mind and that is why it can’t be put off. We must settle in our hearts today who God is and who we are in Him.

If you want to start a relationship with God start by talking to Him, tell Him you are sorry for all sin in you life, tell Him you are ready to surrender fully to Him, and get into reading His Word (Bible) consistently. Find a church that is grounded in the Word of God.

If you have wondered away from God today is the day to come home. We are not promised tomorrow or even our next breath. Today is the day to fully surrender to God.
