A note to encourage myself to actually apply today and to pursue God with all I am today. I always wait and hold things back and I'm feeling the emptiness of that.
Patrick, you cannot wait to apply. You must apply now. Did you hear something worth applying? Did it stir your heart? Did it feel as if though your heart knew that this was worthy of living for? Then you must apply now. There is no other way. If you wait until later, you will not apply. The preacher has been kind enough to till the soil of your heart and make it ready. Apply while the soil is freshly tilled. Apply today. If you wait, the soil will settle and you will apply only in part and the effect of the application will only be in part. If you have waited to apply, be encouraged! Till the soil once more and awaken your memory to what was spoken and then apply today in the fresh soil.
Did you feel stirred to pray more? Then start now. Did you feel stirred to have more time of meeting with the Lord? Then purpose a plan today and begin following it through today. Did you feel stirred to take a step of faith? Go to God today. Surrender to Him. And then step out in faith today. It must be today, Patrick, or else it will not be. God has spoken to you today. He did not wait until tomorrow to speak to you. No, he spoke to you today because he loves you today. Apply his words today for he is worthy of your heart today.
