Moving Day!  Early this morning five young men showed up at our door to help us move all our stuff to the new house.  They worked hard and by early afternoon all our stuff happily sat in it’s new residence. Considering that a major portion of our stuff has remained packed in boxes for about the last year and a half I’m not sure that we need all of it.  But we insist on carrying it around from move to move thinking that some day we will use it or get rid of it.  “Some day”. 

“Some day” is a popular time to do things.  Only thing is “some day” never seems to have a permanent time.  It seems to be a random date that conveniently moves  from here to there and yet never seems to arrive.  It’s really not so horrendous to ‘someday” plan to clean out the garage.  But when I relegate my spiritual growth to “some day”, or plan to help those less fortunate “some day” then the consequences of “some day” never being on the actual calendar isn’t such a great thing at all.

Seek the Lord while he may be found;  call on him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts.
Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

Isaiah 55:6-7

I needed to return some books and dvd’s to the library today.  I usually go to a library that is about 20 minutes from my house, but today I decided to make a quick trip to the library that was only four miles away.  It seemed like a logical choice until I arrived and discovered that, while the library did have a drop box, it was only for books and I could not return the dvd’s.  I dropped off the books and headed to the next closest library, when I arrived there they had no drop box at all.  Both the libraries were closed on Sunday. I decided to go home rather than drive the extra distance to the library I knew had a drop box for dvd’s and just go to the closest library again tomorrow.

Now aren’t you glad that when you have guilt over your sins that you can just drop it off with God anytime you want to?  God’s forgiveness dropbox is available anytime and anywhere! 

In Him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.  Ephesians 1:7 

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.  1 John 1: 

You will again have compassion on us. You will overcome our wrongdoing. You will throw all our sins into the deep sea.  Micah 7:19
