Convenient Season

Dear brethren,

Today's readings :

1Chronicles 14-15; Acts 24

Acts 24:25
And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

Again we see how that even the Apostles used "reason". And it is clear from other passages we've come across that it was reasoning out of Scriptures. Everything is clearly laid out for all to see! There's no hiding, no "secret" interpretation privy only to the privilege view. It is God's open invitation to an open book, to all to study, to reason, to scrutinize and above all, with that come to the knowledge of the truth.
Unfortunately, as shown here in Felix, it is often the human prejudice and pride that get's in the way. Notice Felix "trembled". He understood exactly what Paul was saying. He knew exactly what he must do. He just refused to render obedience. The following verse reveal part of it being greed. And then comes the "classic" and perhaps one of the saddest response - "when I have a convenient season".
You and I know very well this is really an excuse to brush off people one has no intention to pay attention to.
Brethren, there is no "convenient season" to obey the gospel, to do God's will! Because NOW is the day of salvation(2Co 6:2). Because for the Christian we are to be ready in season and out of season! (2Ti 4:2)

God help us all to not procrastinate, whether be it to obey the gospel or to do God's work, but to act NOW because who knows if our next convenient moment will even come...
