Take it 


Tuesday 22nd March
Jeremiah 8.1–15
Ps 50
Hebrews 2.1–9

John 6.52–59

Hebrews 2.1–9


It’s easy to say that we don’t have the time to do something. Sometimes, we don’t have the time to do the things that don’t interest us even though these may be the things that God commands us to do. In the beginning our interest may peak at a challenge but, as the task becomes more difficult, our interest wanes and we tend to take the easy way out and give up. We may feel that our job or personal life objectives are the most important things to claim our attention. We have no time to pray, to read the Bible, to think about religion, and the opportunities of salvation glide silently away until it is too late. The teachings of our faith will not benefit us unless we give heed to them. It will not save us that the Jesus came and spoke to people, unless we listen. Books will not benefit us, unless we read them; medicine, unless we take it; nor will the fruits of the earth sustain our lives, however rich and abundant they may be. We may perceive, too late, that we have let the opportunity of salvation slip forever away.
