Welcome to Walk the Walk

Speaker 1

Hello and welcome to Walk the Walk . Today's episode is going to be something a little different . It's going to be a conversation with God . On that very day called I Thought I had

Face to Face With God

Speaker 1

More Time . What if today was the day that you stood face to face with God , that you stood face to face with God . No more pretending , no more putting it off , just

Three Divine Questions

Speaker 1

you and Him . And he asked you three simple questions how much time did you spend in my word ? How often did you praise me when nobody was watching ? And what did you do with the time I gave you ? Lord ? I meant to .

Speaker 1

I was so busy . There were meetings and school drop-offs and bills , and I always planned to open my Bible , but just not today . I served in church , lord , every week . I organized events , led Bible study , cleaned the sanctuary . But I see it now , I was doing things for you , really never sat with you . I was building my business , trying to make a better life for my family .

Speaker 1

I told myself that once I made it , I told myself that once I made it , I'd have more time for you . But more time never came . To be honest , lord , I just didn't feel like it .

God's Response

Speaker 1

I'd open the Bible and feel confused , and I thought praise was only for Sunday mornings . I just didn't realize I was starving my soul , lord , I was so worried , always so worried . I thought about you , but I just didn't trust you . So I stayed busy trying to fix everything myself . I just didn't know how to let go . I thought I had more time . I thought I'd get serious about you once my life settled down and after I retired or when I got older . I just didn't expect this moment to come so soon .

Speaker 1

God would

It's Not Too Late

Speaker 1

say . I wasn't asking for perfection , I was asking for your heart . I was waiting in the quiet and you never came . Friend , if this hits home for you , it's not too late . You're still here . You still have time .

Speaker 1

Close those apps . Turn off the noise . Open your Bible . Don't just read it , study it . If you're confused , find somebody else to help you with it . Lift your hands and praise him and whisper his name . He's waiting . He's waiting on you . Don't wait until that day when it's too late . Until that day when it's too late , when we stand before Him , we can't look back and say he doesn't want to hear that .

Speaker 1

He wants to be able to look at you and say Well done , my good and faithful servant . Yeah , I know you didn't understand what you were reading . I knew you still worried . I knew you still worried . I knew you still felt hopeless and helpless , but you still came to me , you still talked to me and you still prayed . That's what we want to hear him say Good job , I know you tried . You weren't perfect because you couldn't be , but I am , and because you have accepted me , you get to claim my perfection . That's what we want to hear . Do it today . Open your Bible , learn His Word , praise and say His name and give Him thanks for everything he's doing in your life . Oh , it may not be perfect . You may say well , I still have this and that to contend with . We know that . He knows that , but it's how you deal with . It is what he's looking for . No-transcript .
