Every Moment Counts

Bible in a Year :

• 2 Chronicles 34-36
• John 19:1-22

Keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist.

2 Timothy 4:5 When the Titanic hit an iceberg in April 1912, Pastor John Harper secured a spot for his six-year-old daughter in one of the limited number of lifeboats. He gave his life-vest to a fellow passenger and shared the gospel with anyone who would listen. As the vessel sank and hundreds of people awaited an unlikely rescue, Harper swam from one person to another and said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31 kjv).

During a meeting for survivors of the Titanic in Ontario, Canada, one man referred to himself as “the last convert of John Harper.” Having rejected Harper’s first invitation, the man received Christ when the preacher asked him again. He watched as Harper devoted the last moments of his life to sharing Jesus before succumbing to hypothermia and sinking below the surface of the icy water.

In his charge to Timothy, the apostle Paul encourages a similar urgency and dedication to selfless evangelism. Affirming God’s constant presence and the inevitable return of Jesus, Paul charges Timothy to preach with patience and precision (2 Timothy 4:1-2). The apostle reminds the young preacher to remain focused, though some people will reject Jesus (vv. 3-5).

Our days are limited, so every moment counts. We can be confident that our Father secured our spot in heaven as we proclaim, “Jesus saves!”

Reflect & Pray

How does knowing your days are limited increase your urgency to share the good news of Jesus’ love? How will you reach out to others today?

Jesus, please give me opportunities to share Your love with others.

Howdy, Kathy.

Have you managed to take a little break to sit on the deck this afternoon or is the wind a deterrent? Looks pretty blustery.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Prayers continue for you to be feeling better. ODAAT (one day at a time)

Evening, Kathy!

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Very brave, indeed! Many lives were saved due to his actions.

I hope your day was good.

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

It was an ok day. It was very hot of course, but then we had a bit of thunder and 5 or 6 sprinkles and now it’s a lovely 74.

How were things over your way?

[radu]

Too bad you didn’t get more than a sprinkle. At least you got a nice cool-down for the night out of the deal.

It was a sauna here this afternoon after this morning’s rain. Just had a little more rain come through with a cold front that will keep us comfy for a couple of days.

[Kathy in Alaska]

No time to sit out, and not much sun, but I did take time to hang out with the ducks.
Momma came with 4...she had to keep chasing away others that got too close.

[radu]

It’s too bad the clouds moved back in and you didn’t have sunshine to enjoy while you hung out with the ducks. It was so pretty earlier in the day.

Still fun to hang out with all the ducks for a bit. Glad Momma brought the babies back today so you know she still has the four. They’re so darn cute and they’re growing fast.
