John 9:4
“I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.”
At times I have been employed for an organization that required me to punch in at a time clock. It was the means of insuring that I arrived on time and worked the full required time before I clocked out. At times there was a whistle sounded to alert workers that it was time to be on the job.
In today’s Scripture Jesus is teaching that He had work to do and a limited time to accomplish His assignment. If that was true of the Son of God, how much more should we be committed to do our work for Him.
It would be well for us to take stock of how we spend our time. Are we more committed to the pleasures of life than we are to the opportunities to do the work He has called us to perform?
It is time to listen to the whistle from the Holy Spirit that there is work to be done and we need to begin our service for the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Note from my editor: Listening for the whistle reminded me of Isaiah 5:26 and 7:18 when God whistles for the distant nation and the flies and bees. He really does whistle. My thought is that’s how He summoned the animals to the ark … just like we whistle for our pets.
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
