"Come Before Winter"

Paul's urgent plea to Timothy, 'come before winter,' carries a timeless message for all of us today. Once winter arrived, the Mediterranean ships stopped sailing, and Paul knew he would not survive until spring. That same urgency applies to the things God is calling each of us to do right now. There are seasons in the soul, just as there are seasons in nature, and those seasons do not last forever. There are people who need to hear from you, decisions of faith waiting to be made, and steps of obedience long overdue. The voice of Christ never says tomorrow. He calls us today, while the door is still open and the heart is still warm. Whatever God has placed on your heart, do not wait until winter comes.
