Weekly Word from the Wisdom Walk
Harry Chapin's unforgettable hit song "Cats in the Cradle" chronicles the life of a man from the prime of life as a young father to decades later as a retired grandfather. One plaintive refrain echoes through the song "We'll get together then ...and we'll have a good time then." What is unsaid speaks even more poignantly because the hearer knows the shadowy time in the future never comes.
We cannot live in the future even when we are certain heaven is our home. Jesus says redeem the time "buy up the tme" use it wisely NOW, because we are in evil times. Are we living, serving, worshipping, reconciling, forgiving, working, witnessing...
Or are we saying to Jesus (and the people we care about) we'll get it together soon, well get together soon, "and we'll have a good time then (?) "
What about the 24 hours in today? How are we spending them?
