Isaiah 47:9. “But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.”
IN A MOMENT. Things can change in a moment of time by a simple knock. For many years, things went on the same, Life went on like the workings of a clock – Similar to the schedule of a daily train – Then in a moment it happened – One stepped on something left out of place – Quicker than one can even plan for The rest of life will be lived in a brace.
He left for work as usual – Life seemed as normal as yesterday. Another too left his abode – One must work to get his pay. The night before left him sick and sore – He knew he should have stopped, “Friends” urged him to have one more – In a moment both men fatally met.
It is never wise to plan a day – Or a work too far in advance, For God alone has the final word to say – Nothing is really left to chance. To live as if our God is dead, Is a terrible mistake. He who holds our breath in hand – Knows every single choice we make.
Family life; personal life – life in all its forms Can change in a moment to something else – Totally different from previous norms – Pleasure or pain are changes that are felt. May it never be that I live a day, Without this important thought: God who knows all I do and say, In a moment can bring all to naught.
“I know, Holy God, the warnings in this scripture text, are for those who knew what was right and did the opposite. But I also know that I must remember, one moment can change everything in my life the same as anyone else’s. I also know “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,” I will be changed to be able to look on my Savior without fear. I wonder will it be today Father – I anticipate that particular moment with joy, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
