OVERDUE
By John Kerr

            We were in Willard, Ohio last Friday and Saturday to watch our granddaughters compete in a bible quiz.  We enjoyed a very rewarding experience.  When we came out to the parking lot Jessica pointed at my windshield and noted that my inspection had expired.  It ran out in February.  When I was unaware of the violation things were fine.  Once I knew about the infraction it made me a little nervous.  I have a good neighbor who is a mechanic and he took care of me.

            As I was driving home from Willard I thought about a man I baptized when he was 63 years old.  He wept and explained several times that he didn’t know why he waited so long to get baptized.  He knew it was something he needed to do a long time ago.  Better late than never.

            I wonder how often we delay our obedience to the commands of God.  I have witnessed too many times people at a funeral home lamenting the sad fact that they didn’t tell their loved one that they loved them when they could have.  Now it is too late.  How often in less dramatic ways have we delayed a word we should have spoken or a small task we wish we had done?

            Hebrews 3:7So, as the Holy Spirit says:
“Today, if you hear his voice,
8do not harden your hearts
as you did in the rebellion,
during the time of testing in the wilderness,
9where your ancestors tested and tried me,
though for forty years they saw what I did.
10That is why I was angry with that generation;
I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
and they have not known my ways.’
            11So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”12See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 13But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
