Make Today the Day

“Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’” Matthew 7:23 BSB

In a harrowing story published Wednesday, it was reported that a runner was hospitalized after being charged by cows on the Meadowlark trail near Superior Colorado. Luckily for the runner there was another person nearby who called 911 after seeing the runner trying to protect herself on the ground while surrounded by 15 to 20 cows. Most seemed to be mothers with their calves. Rangers responded within 15 minutes, and the runner was taken to the hospital; her condition is unknown, according to the Times-Call… Megan Hetzel, a runner who frequents the Meadowlark Trail, was charged on Tuesday, too, but managed to avoid injury. “There is nothing more terrifying than looking behind you to see a herd of very large mooing animals charging at you,” Hetzl told Runner's World. “I think one brushed me, it was that close.” 

And you know, as terrifying as it would be to see a herd of cows charging at you, the most terrifying thing we could ever see is the face of Jesus saying, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!” These are the words all those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will hear in spite of all the works and good deeds they might have done in His Name. These are not people who have lost their salvation but rather those who never truly had it. 

So if you haven’t placed your trust in Jesus yet, I urge you to make today the day that you accept Him as Lord of your life my friend. We aren’t guaranteed tomorrow or the next minute for that matter and you do not want to hear the words “Depart from me.”

Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us that salvation comes by faith and faith alone. Lord help us to share this Message with the lost so they can make today the day they accept You as Savior. It’s in your precious name we pray Jesus. Amen. 

Happy Running!
