One more night

Speak to the backslider about getting back to God and he answers, “I know I should. I have had nothing but grief and misery since I have not been living for God. I am feed up with my life as it is and I’m coming back to God – Tomorrow! Give me one more night with the frogs . . . one more night of carousing . . . one more night with the Christian banner drooping . . . one more night away from God!”

A 15 year of boy was found living in the sewer under New York City. He was wet, cold and filthy dirty. He had been living there for two weeks because he thought his mother and father were mad at him over an incident that had taken place. When the police brought him home, his folks said, “Oh, son, we would have forgiven you the moment you came home!” That’s how God feels. You don’t have to continue to live in the sewer, He will forgive you the moment you turn to Him and ask Him too.

You speak to a sinner and say, “Why not come to Christ?” And, he says, “I will -tomorrow!”

Luke 9:57 tells of a man who said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go . . . .tomorrow!”

One more night with the frogs!
Verse 59 continues, “Jesus said to another man, `Follow Me.’ But the man replied, `Lord, first let me go and bury my father . . . let me spend one more night among the tombstones!’” The next, would-be Disciples, said, “Lord, I will follow You, but . . . let me first . . . ” “Let me have one more fling . . . one more binge . . .one more spree . . . one more night out!” But, that “one night” stretches into one terrible endless night.

I like what Rebekah said, when faced with the decision to go with the servant to becomes Isaac’s bride. Isaac’s name was not listed in the “Mesopotamia Journal,” and Rebekah’s family were cunning for the servant the next morning at breakfast, they said, “Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten, after that, she will go,” Then they said, ever, so-sweetly, to Rebekah, “Will you go with this man?” Rebekah, didn’t hesitate a minute, but she answered, “I will go!”
