DAILY READINGS: Ezra 5; Daniel 6; Revelation 2:1-17
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15-16
Recently I heard someone say “I’ve only ten more years to retirement.”
They clearly hoped that the years would quickly pass.
Assessing too highly an unknown future, can make us fail to cherish
the moments we have. Time is a valuable gift from God and it is so
brief. We’ll never know the status of our account until all our minutes
are gone. Beloved, seize the opportunity today to buy back time from
your normal activities and use it to share the Gospel, pursue good
works, and encourage the saints. It will pay dividends now and for
all eternity. —George Ferrier
Only this hour is mine, Lord. May it be used for Thee;
May every passing moment count for eternity. —Avis B. Christiansen
