“…when I have a convenient season, I will…”
(Acts 24:25)
Felix, like many today, was a man of convenience. But convenience and character rarely, if ever, mix. Doing right is not always easy, but it is always right. Character is doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done. A person with this rare quality does not procrastinate when faced with everyday decisions and the responsibilities of life.
Most anyone is willing to carry a cross, if it is weightless or made of velvet. But how few there be who will take up the daily cross Christ spoke of. For this latter one can be burdensome, cutting into certain areas of our lives, thus making things very inconvenient for us. Since our cross is to be taken up daily, we should not be surprised if some portion of each day will be inconvenient for us.
Men and women of convenience never carry crosses.
