TIME IS PRECIOUS LET US DO GOOD WHILE WE STILL HAVE TIME, GALATIANS 6.10 NIGHT COMES WHEN NO ONE CAN WORK, JOHN 9.4 Time is precious, but we do not know yet how precious it really is. We will only know when we are no longer able to take advantage of it. Our friends ask for our time as if it were nothing, and we give it as if it were nothing. Often our time is our own responsibility. We do not know what to do with it, and we become overwhelmed as a result. The day will come when a quarter hour will seem more valuable and desirable than all the fortunes in the universe. Liberal and generous in every way, God in the wise economy of His providence teaches us how we should be prudent about the proper use of time. He never gives us two moments at the same time. He never gives us a second moment without taking away the first. And He never grants us that second moment without holding the third one in His hand, leaving us completely uncertain as to whether we will have it. Time is given to us to prepare for eternity. Eternity will not be long enough for us to ever stop regretting it, if on this earth we have wasted time.
