The Watered Soul: The Night is Coming

May 18, 2011

The Night is Coming

We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work. John 9:4 (NLT)

We all know that we will not be here (not on this side of heaven anyway) forever despite the lyrics in Fame. But who knows the number of our days? Whatever the number, we only have a certain window of time to complete the work He has given us.

Are you using the time wisely? Night is coming you know.

Thankfully, each morning I am reminded of His mercy and grace to begin again - Thank you, Lord! Wanda, your post is a wonderful reminder of the coming night. Gorgeous photograph, too!

At May 18, 2011 at 5:43 PM , BLUEBUTTERFLY said...: Wanda, Wanda, Wanda ..... Oh yes. Earlier today, I listened to NPR as a theologian stated that one of the reasons so many false doctrines and extremes within Christianity are drawing people away from the Body of Christ is that the average mainstream church no longer teaches the word, especially the second coming of Christ. May we all walk in light and take every opportunity to live in light and be aware of the time and the season. Night is coming.

How very true that we must be about Our Father's business NOW and quickly! The night is not only coming soon, it is upon us and we DO need to carry out the tasks that Jesus gave us. Beautiful reminder and Word!

Thank you Wanda for your understanding words yesterday. I'm a day late! I'm so glad Bella hanging by your side reminds you of God's faithfulness...so very true.
Give her a hug today and tell her thanks!

Such beauty and peace here,
Peggy

At May 20, 2011 at 8:21 AM , LisaShaw said...: Hi there dear Wanda,

What a TIMELY word! I've been engrossed, once again, in the Dream Giver as I teach it at Bible Study at church and that has been the running theme I've been encouraging them as the Holy Spirit encourages me; that we must get busy working and completing what GOD has purposed us to do.

Your message is a blessed reminder and confirmation to my spirit. Love the photo you selected.

I pray that you are doing well Wanda. You are a blessing to ALL of us!

Much love,
Lisa

...and He is coming, the Light of the World.

GOD BLESS!

At May 23, 2011 at 10:40 AM , Judy said...: Hi Wanda,

Amen! I'd like to think I'm using my time wisely. Writing for the Lord and living for him. In light of the false prediction of judgment day this past weekend and all of the natural disasters lately, our time on this earth as we know it is short. Judgment day may not have occurred Saturday, but it is truly coming soon! I wrote about this in my latest blog posts. Enjoy!

Blessings,
Judy
