“Oh, sure, smoke alarms are a good idea. I’m going to install one someday.”
And in the meantime, if a fire breaks out, will he escape in time?
“Flu shots? Yes, I’ll get mine someday.”
If there is a bad epidemic this winter, will he have built up his immunity soon enough?
“Of course I believe in God, and I’m going to be a Christian—someday!”
And once more the question: Will he be in time? Will he turn to the Saviour and make his salvation sure while he still has a life to live? Or will he wait until “someday—” ? Can he really count on “someday” in a world of change and upheaval and—yes, danger? A world where the unexpected, sometimes the almost unbelievable, has become commonplace? Where the most unlikely event may occur at any time, leaving our procrastinator mourning over the “someday” he did not live to see?
The Bible is so clear when it tells us to “boast not thyself of tomorrow,” for we certainly do not know “what a day may bring forth” (Proverbs 27:11Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. (Proverbs 27:1)).
Someday? Don’t count on it! “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).
