Instant in season

"Preach the word of God. Be prepared whether the time is favorable or not." 2 Timothy 4:3,
The lesson here is to always be prepared to share, exhort, and encourage others. We must be quick on our feet with a ready word. What is God showing you today? Maybe it is for someone else and not just for you. Living instant in season, living 'in the moment' while raising teenagers is a great example of this. It was as if my children tried to catch me off guard with questions and comments. I had to be always 'on' prepared to give the right answer and not allow them to shake me. This was great training for a life devoted to God and His people. Instant in season is living like God. To Him the past, present and future are all happening at the same time. There are no time limitations for Him. To be fully effective Christians we must live 'in the moment' prepared to give an answer to every person we meet. Today, Lord, I will walk alert and ready, instant in season, ready to share the Word of God.
