Second chances are not guaranteed!


Probing Proverbs: 6:14-15 Their perverted hearts plot evil, and they constantly stir up trouble. But they will be destroyed suddenly, broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing. 

Wisdom is dealing with those that are bent on being careless with their life and evil in their motives. The gospel is the story of second chances, this is true, yet we need to face reality that their will come a time when there will be no second chance! We should consider two aspects of this. First is the finality of this reality. We have become a world where second chances are expected, and believe me as the sinner I am grateful for all the second chances God has extended to me, however, it is the height of arrogance to believe that will never end. 

The scripture is clear that one day there will be an accounting by everyone for their life. On that day the judgment that will be given will be final, no appeal, no pardon or parole. If a person has decided to live separate from God their fall will be thorough and complete with no hope of reprieve. The second aspect is how suddenly this terrible future can come upon us. No one is guaranteed the next breath nor does anyone knows when Christ will return and judgment will be upon them. There is only one hope...prepare NOW. Don't wait thinking that you have all the time in the world, for your world can end at any time. One natural disaster, one war, one accident or disease and in a twinkling of an eye eternity can begin! 

Now is the time to make sure you have a relationship with your Creator. Take a moment and consider where you are with the Lord, eternity is in the balance.
