“IT WON'T BE VERY LONG”

BY STEVE NIEMEIER

Matthew 24:42-44 states; “Watch therefore for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come…Therefore be ye also ready.”  One of the old hymns that we sing is titled “It Won't Be Very Long” and is based on this scripture in Matthew.  While no one knows the time when the Lord will come we do know that the days of man are as the life of a flower.  The older one gets the faster time flies.

Have you taken the time to follow through with your desire to change your life and live it totally for the Lord?  If not, now is the time as it won't be very long until this short life is over and then it will be too late to make changes.
