MAYBE TODAY

The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved…is there no balm in Gilead…?” (Jeremiah 8:20, 22).
This was the awful lament of the Jewish people in the time of Jeremiah the prophet as they faced the fact that because of their abandonment of serving the true and Righteous God they had now found themselves captive by the terrible Babylonians. Seeking deliverance, their cry went up to God but because they were unwilling to turn from their sins they found themselves without deliverance. They had squandered a great opportunity. This is quite picturesque of many people today. They are in bondage to Satan. Some are in bondage to failure, disappointment, discouragement, brokenness, or many of the other debilitating enemies we face today. We have the opportunity to turn from sin, situations, and even people who are bringing us into captivity and keeping us there, but we find that too often we refuse to turn and end up crying as did the Israelite’s…The summer is over and we are not saved. My prayer is that today you will turn from sin and turn to the Lord Jesus. Then we would be able to say, “This is the day the Lord hath made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.”
