Instant In Season
5/18/2010 7:06:16 AM
"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine." (2 Timothy 4:2)
You just never know what is coming your way. So often, at the moment I least expect it, or perhaps the moment I'm least prepared for it, some challenge to my faith, some sudden crisis, or some opportunity to shine for the Kingdom will arise. If the enemy only attacked us on Sunday's from 10:30 to noon we could possibly be prepared. Instead, we are usually bushwhacked or waylaid at the most inopportune moments. The snares are set when we least expect them: when we are busy, distracted, or in places we shouldn't be. To be able to fight at all times, even in the most unexpected circumstances, we must get the Word down in our hearts. We must meditate upon it day and night. We should have a spiritual reflex to any obstacle that arises instead of a fleshly one. As soon as the problem arises, the scriptures should come rushing to your mind, flowing out your mouth. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Secondly, live your life in such a way that you do not compromise your testimony. The enemy waits for those days when you let your guard down and allow sin to separate you from God's protective covering. Live righteously, and disarm the devil. You don't need to over-think things. No need to stress about just what you need to say for each circumstance. God will give you words or reveal to you actions that will benefit the Kingdom. Just always be aware and listening for His voice. It could make a difference in someone's life.
