2 Corinthians 6:2
For He says,
“At the acceptable time I have listened to you, and helped you on the day of salvation.” Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
The operative word in today’s verse is “now.” God is called “I AM” for a reason. He calls now, not tomorrow. He calls now. He doesn’t sit around saying, “It’s too late. You had your chance yesterday. Forget it.” He calls now. Answer. Now.
