Billy Graham 15 December 2018 Daily Devotional
Topic: Not Too Young
Scripture: Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers . . . – 1 Timothy 4:12
Message: Lord Chesterton once said, “I believe in bedside repentance, but I do not want to depend upon it.” During a serious illness a person’s mind does not function normally. Getting right with God is something one should do in the bloom of health. However, as far as the Lord is concerned, “His ear is not heavy that He cannot hear, nor His arm shortened that He cannot save.” He loves us equally, in sickness or in health; while we are living, or while we are dying.
Billy Graham 15 December 2018 Daily Devotional – Not Too Young
In my experience, I have not known of too many people who found Christ on their deathbed. When we come to Christ in our youth, a life is saved. When we come in old age, a soul is salvaged and life eternal is assured; but the opportunity to live a life for Christ has been lost.
Billy Graham preaches youth can turn the world upside down for Christ.
Prayer for the day
Lord God, burden my heart to reach out to the young persons starting their adventure in life—and the old persons dreading the end of their journey. Let me tell them the message of Your saving love.
