Now is the time…
Time to get up and go.
Do as you’ve been called.
My friend, despite everything, take the time now to do the will of the Lord.

~

Unrest, upheavals, clashes
Bombings, persecution, retaliation
Single words that hold a lot of meaning
Hurt, pain, anger, hatred, destruction
Some more weighty words

The year is 2022
Christians persecuted
Men and women of other religions gunned down, murdered
The hearts of men and women turned from God.

Take the time
Stop, think, focus on the events in the world
Take the time
It’s time to share our faith
Time to pray
Time to be a change agent
Time to speak out
Time to make a stand
Time to get a hold of that young person
Time to pray for that family member
Time to be bold
Time to be strong

But wait
Let me give you some other simple, powerful words
Love, peace, gentleness, kindness
That’s not all
Meekness, temperance, salvation,
JESUS, SAVIOUR, RULER
Words that counteract any bad

Let’s take the time
For now is the time

As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.

john 9:4 niv
