Always in Season

Last Sunday I had empathy for the man who was scheduled to do the communion meditation. Apparently there was a snafu and he didn’t get the word that he was to give the meditation until he walked in for Sunday worship and read it in the bulletin. Since he was not prepared he ask another man, who also was not prepared, to take his place. Interestingly both of these men are Biblically equipped and spiritually qualified for an impromptu meditation. However, one did not feel prepared in his own strength and declined to speak, but the other man spoke relying on the Spirit’s strength. “Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.” (2 Tim 4:2 NIV)
