God’s Time Is Now

"Any-time Saloon" is the fitting name of a liquor-selling establishment in a town in California. The devil works any time. The word smacks of evil procrastination. Satan's traps and snares are ready any time for the unwary, careless feet. He persuades the pleasure-loving soul that he can drink his fill of the lusts of the flesh, and then come to God any time and get salvation. He persuades the man of greed that he can give his heart to the god of gold, and any time when he is surfeited, he can seek God.
It is delusive. God's mercy endureth forever; but the danger to the devotee of pleasure is that he will so destroy will and purpose that he can never grasp or appropriate God's mercy. The danger to the worshiper of wealth is that his heart will become as hard as the coin he worships, and it will never respond to the impulses of God's Spirit. God's time is now; "to-day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts."
