Many people think too futuristically. I will take action tomorrow or next week or next month and so on. A person of true action doesn't wait yet acts. A thought of action and no follow through is like "Faith without the works", it's dead.It had motive but lost it because of no action taking and only thoughts about making an action. Remember when Jesus calls to us we need to anwser with urgency. Take a look at Matthew 4:19-20. Jesus says to Simon and Andrew "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men". Now take a close look at verse 20. "Immediatley they left their nets and followed him" They didn't wait yet acted on urgency and followed Jesus without hesistation. Then take a look at Matthew 8:21-22. One of Jesus's disciples said "Let me go and bury my father", Jesus replies "Follow me and let the dead bury their own dead". This signifies that their is no task more worthy nor more important than the one of following Jesus. Nothing compares slightly. The most important thing we as Christians can do is not only to follow Jesus but to follow him with urgency, ready for action and with open ears to his call. God is always talking to us, the question is are we listening? Even further, when we listen and hear, do we obey what we have heard? Everyday is a fight against evil for soldiers of the christian army. To fight we need to listen to our commander in Chief Jesus Christ. Every action you commit you fire an arrow. For every good action you fire at the devil, for every evil action you fire at God, who are you shooting at? God bless you all and please live to follow Christ with urgency and a readiness to listen. ~Justin~
