the Christian's use of time.
Richard Baxter Be careful how you spend your time. To waste
time is to squander a precious gift from God. Thomas Brooks
Time, like a river, carries us swiftly toward eternity. Steer
your soul well. Your life is short, and your
duties are many. Therefore faint not. Walk in
the paths of holiness. and heaven shall make amends
for all. Jonathan Edwards Time is a talent
given us by God, and He will call us to account for how we
have spent it. Time is so short, and the work which we have to
do in it is so great, that we have none of it to spare. Time is precious because it gives
us opportunity of escaping everlasting misery. and of obtaining everlasting
blessedness and glory. Time is a thousand times more
precious than money, for when it is gone it cannot be purchased
for money nor redeemed by silver or gold. John Flavell Let us
not trifle away our precious hours, for they are few and uncertain. Time is a talent to be stewarded,
not squandered. William Gurnall Each year spent
without progress and grace is a year wasted in vanity. John
Owen Our days will flee away quickly, but eternity presses
ever nearer. The greatest spendthrifts in
the world are those who waste their time. Time is not your
own, but lent to you by God. See that you spend it for His
glory. Thomas Watson Time is a most precious commodity, yet
nothing is more wasted. George Whitfield. How sweet is
rest after fatigue. How sweet will heaven be when
our toilsome journey is ended. God's Word. Psalm 39, verses
4 and 5. Show me, O Lord, my life's end
and the number of my days. Let me know how fleeting my life
is. You have made my days a mere handbreadth. Each man's life
is but a breath. Psalm 90 verse 10. The length
of our days is 70 years, or 80 if we have the strength, yet
their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass,
and we fly away. Psalm 90 verse 12. Teach us to
number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Ephesians 5, verses 15 and 16. Be very careful then how you
live, not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity,
because the days are evil. Hebrews 10, verse 37. For in
just a very little while, he who is coming will come and will
not delay. James 4, verse 14. You are a
mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
