OUTLINE: DEEPER LIFE DAILY MANNA TODAY 18TH MARCH 2021 DEVOTIONAL
In a letter to his son, the 4th Earl of Chesterfield, Philip Dormer Stanhope, said, “I recommend you to take care of the minutes, for hours will take care of themselves… know the true value of time; snatch it, seize it, act promptly and no procrastination…” These words highlight the need to act promptly and never to procrastinate. Our text, among other things, contains the testimony of the psalmist that he made haste and delayed not to keep the Lord’s commandments.
This attribute vividly portrays a man whose heart is regenerated, who has made God his portion in life and in eternity. He has a deep love for His laws and would not allow any circumstance or vicissitude of life to shake his faith in Him. Even though robbers raided his farm, the psalmist was not discouraged; he remained steadfast in the faith.
While sinners revelled during the night in sinful merriments, the psalmist would arise in the middle of the night to praise the Lord. Above all, he never went into any unequal yoke. He made friends only with those who loved and feared the Lord. Like the psalmist, a believer should act promptly on God’s word without conferring “with flesh and blood” (Galatians 1:16).
Sinners should hurriedly escape for their lives through repentance and faith in the blood of Christ and should no longer continue in the deceitfulness of sin. Backsliders should come back to the Lord and do all necessary restitutions before the door of grace is shut against them forever.
Thought For Today: Procrastination is not in the language of those aiming for heaven.
