Waiting Until the Last Minute


Acts 1:7 & 8

It is not for us to know the time or season,
Which God has put in His power or reason;
We will receive power then the Holy Ghost,
To come upon you with the Heavenly Host;
Unto the uttermost corners of all the earth,
Giving all who are righteous a new rebirth.
It is not up to us to about a second guess,
When Christ will return unto us to bless;
Alas, many will wait until the last moment,
Then being too late to forgo His judgment;
I see someone in my family with this habit,
A teenage son waiting till the last minutes;
Never watching the time always the same,
Gets involved playing his computer game;
Homework needing be done for his school,
He says that he has time not being a fool;
He reminds me of the turtle and the hare,
Rushing the last minute, getting nowhere;
The problem is none of us have the time,
Waiting for to make that Heavenly climb.
