Use your time wisely

Indeed, what is your life ? It is a vapor which appears for an instant and which then disappears. James 4:14

Nothing takes God by surprise. Everything moves according to a plan, and God wants you in this plan. The devil also has a plan for the world. God has a plan and the devil has a plan, and you will have to decide which plan you will fit into. The Scriptures say that God grants us 70 years and some beyond. The first 15 are devoted to childhood and early adolescence. Twenty years have gone to bed and in the past five years, physical limitations are beginning to limit our activities. That gives us about 30 years to live to adulthood. We take time to eat and calculate our taxes, and we may be 15 years old. Now suppose we spend seven of those years watching television. That takes us back to seven or eight years. Our time is short ! The time that we can invest for God, in creative things, to reach our fellow men for Christ, is short !

Prayer for the day

Every hour of every day that remains of this earthly life, I would spend serving you, Lord Jesus. Forgive the time spent so often in useless efforts.

Billy Graham
