It’s Never Too Late
Author: Bob Shafer
"The gifts and calling of God are without repentance" (Romans 11:29, KJV).
What could be worse than to come to the end of life filled with regrets? “If only I had pursued that dream. If only I had been more disciplined. If only I had taken that step of faith. If only I had forgiven.” Don’t let that be you. You may have put things off a lot longer than you should have, but the good news is that it’s not too late to get started. You can still become everything God has created you to be.
Today, make the decision to stop making excuses. If you always make excuses, you’ll always have one. Don’t wait for a more convenient time. It says in Ecclesiastes, “If we wait for all the conditions to be just right, we’ll never move off of dead center.” Make a decision to just do it! Be a now person. Your destiny is calling out, and it’s never too late to be all that God has created you to be.
A Prayer for Today
Father, I love You and praise Your holy Name. I let go of all my excuses today and I choose to trust You with my life and dreams. Thank You for making all things new. Thank You for renewing me, restoring me, and setting me on the road to victory. Show me Your ways and give me the strength to embrace every opportunity that comes from You in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Wake-Up Thought
Never put a question mark where God has put a period. Quit living in a negative frame of mind, stewing about something that is over and done. Focus on what you can change rather than what you cannot. Shake yourself out of that “should have, could have, would have” mentality, and don’t let the regrets of yesterday destroy the dreams of tomorrow. It’s time to get up and get going. God has another plan for you. And it is better than you can imagine!
