An old man on his last birthday told his children one crucial thing about finding God.

The episode begins with a reading from Ephesians 5:15-16, focusing on the phrase 'gunstige øjeblik' (favorable time) and warning that 'dagene er onde' (the days are evil). The speaker introduces 'onde days' as periods of suffering, sickness, and difficulty, urging listeners not to delay conversion. He references Ecclesiastes 12 to illustrate how these days lead to decay and death. The narrative then shifts to the Israelites' history, describing their betrayal of Moses and fear at the border of the promised land, where they saw themselves as 'grasshoppers' without power. This example shows how adversity can breed bitterness and protest against God. The speaker quotes Hebrews 3, emphasizing the urgency of listening to God 'today' to avoid hardening one's heart. He shares a personal anecdote about a priest visiting an old man, who on his last birthday advised his children that 'today is God to find,' highlighting faith's connection to the present moment. The episode defines wisdom through 1 Corinthians 1:23-24 and 30, identifying Christ as God's wisdom and power. It explains that believers are 'light in the Lord' and should live accordingly, bearing the fruit of goodness, righteousness, and truth. The speaker encourages listeners to walk closely with Christ, rejecting 'the fruitless deeds of darkness' and opening themselves to God's forgiveness and sanctification. The episode ends with a prayer asking for grace to seize the favorable moment and live as Christians who listen to God's voice.
