"And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, 'Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you.' Meanwhile he also hoped that money would be given him by Paul that he might release him."
Acts 24:24-26a
It is apparent that the Holy Spirit was speaking to Felix. He had an interest – even fear – but he put off his decision until "a more convenient time." He had other things on his agenda – like bribery. He wanted to do things on his own schedule. There is no evidence that the time ever came. When God speaks to the heart of a person in conviction, there is no guarantee that there will be another time. When I feel the tug of the Holy Spirit, I need to respond and not put it off to another "more convenient" day. There might not be another day.
Today's Thought: When God convicts, the time to respond is now.
Have a "responding" day. Love you.
