January is usually a month when most people make resolutions to do different things for the new year. Its a time when people who are in school, return after the holiday break and those who have traveled because of the break return to their normal routine. However many people use this month to make decisions that they hope will carry them through the rest of the year: spend more time with God, better eating and exercise, more time with family, and so on and so forth. Some suggest that the book of Genesis is the most widely read book of the bible because so many begin the year trying once again to read the bible through in a year and yet by February we usually sink back into our former routine of things, only waiting until the next January to do it all over again.
I was however thinking of the fact that there is no 'clock' in heaven. God is not constrained by time, yet he is so powerful and loving that he dips down in our 'am and pm' schedules just to bless us! I was thinking as we have just started a new year, what "January" really means to God? The reality is that it is ALWAYS time to do for God! I wonder often if I am sometimes reluctant to get close to God because I am scarred about what He will reveal about me? It seems that we, all too often, wait for the right moment, or the right circumstance or environment to do certain things. We won't start exercising until we have a workout partner. We will wait eat right as soon as this week is over. We won't share our faith with anyone if other people are looking and for some of us, we will stay in an unhealthy relationship until...( You are still in...GET OUT NOW!!!)
Yet because God is not boxed in by time, its always time to do for him. I have learned in my world that time is too short. We really don't have time to be stuck on stupid and parked on crazy! You could have died in 2011...still talking about what you would have done, or should have done or in most cases should have stopped doing. Stop waiting, stop wondering....just do it, because its always time!
