Medical professionals know that time is always of the essence in the treatment of seriously injured or ill person every minute can make a difference in the outcome of patients recovering. The same is true in the kingdom of God in second Corinthians 6 to the Lord speaks of favorable times that he listens and times that he may not be apostle Paul says today is the day of salvation, not tomorrow or next week, but today today on truth matters with Dr. Cheryl Davis. She concludes her series on. Don't miss the moment being prepared to seize the moment when opportunity or God is knocking on your door and our lives are filled with decisions, some good some bad and some catastrophic.

But there is no decision in life that God cannot change for the good of those who love him, but time is of the essence.

There's Dr. Cheryl Davis. Don't miss the moment, I'm Dr. Cheryl Davis, Francis Collins to map the human genome was a UNC chief resident is a pretty significant honor within medicine. Ultimately, my goal is to match at the Cleveland clinic to do interventional cardiology medicine have labeled these plans, my plans and my goals. The time came in September 2006 I was chosen as the chief resident for UNC hospitals internal medicine program. For me it was my pinnacle moment I had imagined how I would feel that on the day of the announcement.

All I felt was emptiness my happiness only lasted 30 minutes. I could not get away from a nagging emptiness that lasted for weeks through a lot of inner turmoil.

Looking back on it. It was conviction. What I realized is that I worship my gift more than the giver. My problem is that there is only one seat on the throne of my heart. God was not in the seat. I was in the seat.

I saw my heart for its true idolatry and saw that I was far from Christ. Even though I rarely miss church outside of work.

I was a backslidden regular church attendee and I had deceived my own heart in October 2006 the Lord change my heart. I made a choice to follow him wholeheartedly on the outside. I looked like success, but on the inside I was miserable. If I had not seen God, and that pinnacle moment.

I don't know if I would have seen him again. That day I made a decision to not be conformed to this world and its idols, but be transformed by the power of God and the renewing of my mind said that I could prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God daily. I continue to renew my mind by reading his word and prayer and never forgetting where the Lord brought me from now on this. 14 years later he is taking me places that I never would have imagined, and given me a peace that the world cannot give. He has taken those gifts that he gave me and use them for his purpose in many avenues, like teaching in the church and on the radio. Thank God he helped me to not miss the moment. Don't miss the moment. I don't know where all of you are in your walk with God. I do know that you are in a crossroads in your life that you need his wisdom to navigate the culture of this world. I want you to really search your heart and ask God to reveal to you its condition. Like I said I was blind for a long time to my own heart condition. I pray that in these important moments that you see God working to draw you into his purpose and his will. The way to transform and renew your mind is to make the choice.

With the help of the Holy Spirit to see this God is using this moment in your life to awaken you spiritually to his sovereignty is a grace and his provision in your life. God is giving you a vision of what he has done for you is doing for you and is going to do for you if you would only serve him with your whole heart. Don't miss God in the moment seizing the moment in responding to God's call to repentance and salvation is a decision you should not delay because today could be your last opportunity we never know from one day to the next with the next day may hold this very moment could be God's time to move in your life changing you into the person he is called you to be the Lord does not expect you to be perfect or good at what he does expect is a willing heart to let him make you into a new creation, a new person giving you a new future, you must do to receive his new life is to confess with your mouth and believe in your heart.
