2 Timothy 4:6-8 ESV – For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.
2 Timothy 4:9, 13, 21 ESV – Do your best to come to me soon. When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments…Do your best to come before winter.
Appreciate the preciousness of each day!
Psalm 90:12 ESV – So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Come to Ourselves Before Winter!
Come to Others Before Winter!
Ephesians 5:15, 16 NLT – So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
Come to Christ Before Winter!
Luke 9:57-62 NLT – As they were walking along, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.” But Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.”
He said to another person, “Come, follow me.” The man agreed, but he said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.” But Jesus told him, “Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead! Your duty is to go and preach about the Kingdom of God.”
Another said, “Yes, Lord, I will follow you, but first let me say good-bye to my family.” But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.”
You can’t be ambivalent and fully devoted!
