At the beach

“Seize the day,” comes to my mind. I saw the sign not long ago in one of the shops here in town, and it was really beautifully done. Next time when I am in that shop again, I must ask for how much its sells.

“‘In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you,'” we read in the prophet Isaiah. You find the verse in Isaiah 49:8.

“HELP IN TIME OF NEED,” is written on the first page of one of my New Testaments. There are quite a number of headings with verses from the Bible, like “PEACE in Time of Anxiety, COURAGE in Time of Fear, etc.

Under the heading “The WAY of Salvation” the following three verses from the Bible are listed:

John 3:3:

“Jesu replied, ‘I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.'” (NLT)

John 3:16

“‘For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life.” (NLT)

Romans 10:9

“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (NLT)

In his Second letter to the Corinthians the Apostle Paul does not only say, “‘In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you,’ but he says also,

“I TELL YOU, NOW IS THE TIME OF GOD’S FAVOR, NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION.” (Second Corinthians 6:1,2)

Please “seize the day.”

I am really interested in the sign “seize the day,” but I forgot to ask how much it costs when I was in town today.
