A bright boy heard and was deeply impressed by the text, "My son, give me thine heart." Satan whispered, "Time enough yet," and he put it off.
Ten years later a brilliant young collegian heard the same text under circumstances which seemed to make that the time of his salvation. Again the tempter whispered, "Time enough yet."
Twenty years later a statesman of no mean renown listened to the same text from an aged bishop, and felt it to be a message to himself. This time the tempter said, "Visit foreign countries before you give God your heart."
A traveler in Paris was stricken with cholera. His greatest suffering was agony of soul because he was not prepared to die and had not now time to get ready. His last words were, "Too late."
The boy, the collegian, the statesman, and the traveler were one. Procrastination is Satan's best game.
William Moses Tidwell, "Pointed Illustrations."
