[Message] Pastor Jung Myeong Seok
[Scriptures] Acts 3:1-8
Hallelujah! I bid you the love of the eternal God and the peace of the Holy Son.
With the work that should be done in the present, you should do it in the present,
and with the work that should be done in the future, you should do it in the future.
You cannot do in the future what you failed to do in the present.
Even if you do in the future what you failed to do in the present, it will not be effective because the time has already passed and the moment has already passed.
Also, in the future, you must do the work of the future.
That is why you should do the present work now, in the present.
Things of the present must be done in the present.
Only then will you harvest fruit in the future because of that.
The past produces the present and the present produces the future.
The same is true with God's Providence history.
Whether people are ready or not, God surely takes action according to time.
Look at the seasons. They do not wait for people.
When the time comes, the clothing of the season immediately changes.
Human beings must also take action according to that time.
Only then will they live according to reason.
When the right time has come, you should not wait.
Even if you are doing it by yourself, you have to do it at the right time.
Even if you are by yourself, if you do it at the right time, the time will help you.
Those who do things at the right time even if they are doing it by themselves, are the wisest people.
Between the time when the sun rises and the time when the sun sets,
the circumstances will change.
In this way, when the time passes, the circumstances will also change.
Even if the sea water is the same, in summer you can go in and swim in it.
However, once the hot season passes and winter comes, the circumstances change and the sea water becomes cold like ice . So you cannot go into it.
That is why I tell you to hurry up and take action at the moment when the time comes.
Only then will the situation not change and you will be able to do the work easily and well.
With the same distance to go, there are many ways for people to travel.
One is to go to the destination by walking comfortably, another is to go faster by running even though it is hard and the other is to go even faster by driving even though it costs them money.
If you travel slowly, the arrival time at the destination will be that much delayed and you will gain things later.
If you go faster, you will arrive at the destination quickly, so you will gain and enjoy things sooner.
Will you go slowly and arrive late and gain late?
Or will you go faster and arrive faster and gain and enjoy things faster?
This is determined by how fast you take action at the right time.
Even if you travel comfortably, if you arrive late, you will have no time to gain and enjoy.
Even if it is hard, if you arrive quickly by running and sprinting, you will have a lot of time to gain and enjoy.
Some people choose only comfortable methods.
It is good because they are comfortable.
However, being comfortable is not being happy.
Being comfortable is not the way to gain.
A person who does things with all his heart even though it is hard gains fastest, gains the most and enjoys it.
After listening to today's message, I bless all of you to do what needs to be done in the present right now and at the right time together with the Lord, so that you can gain a lot and enjoy a lot.
