God's brilliant design is infinite.
Time is only one component designed by Grace. It is intended to confront humanity with choice.
The young often imagine that there is some kind of time fence between them and the twilight years. We all know, however, that if we live, or if the Lord tarries, we will see those years. We must learn to live them and prepare for them.
The divisions of time have always been interesting to me. Why are there not twenty-three hours in a day? Or twenty five? The day has a beginning and an end, although evening bleeds into night and night dissipates with the rising of the sun.
Once we have received Christ, the Indwelling Holy Spirit enables us to appropriate the grace made available to us. There is new grace for each day. Now, you can move, you can speak, you can probably feed yourself and you have many things to do. You have projects and goals and you probably indulge in your favorite entertainments and foods.
There may come a day when you are dependent. It happened to Amy Carmichael, and she learned to receive grace for each day, even when she could not turn herself over in bed. She did this for twenty years. She ministered to others and wrote her deepest and most profoundly confrontive revelations on the Cross during that time.
The course that you choose now is the same course that you will be traveling in old age.
Are you a Soldier of The Cross?
Have you crossed The Line?
Have you decided to leave all behind and be available - to the best of your ability?
Do you understand that He will lead you with His eyes?
Have you understood that you will be with the Body of Christ eternally?
Have you understood that His Word will be forever?
Grace for tomorrow will be given tomorrow.
Live today in the fullness of His Life.
There is nothing else.
