My times are in your
hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me. Psalm 31:15
Be very
careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most
of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15-16
“Time is lord of all things. What is all the history of the
world but a proof of how, slowly but surely, time has made man what he is
today? All around us we see the proofs. In the growth of the child to manhood,
both physically and mentally, in the success of every pursuit, in all our
labors and all our attainments, it is under the law of time and its
inconceivable power that we spend our lives.
This is especially true in religion and fellowship with God.
Here time is also master. What fellowship with God! What holiness and
blessedness! What likeness to His image, and what power in His service for
blessing to men! All on the one condition: that we have sufficient time with
God for His holiness to shine on us with its light and its heat, and to make us
partakers of His Spirit and His life. The very essence of religion lies in the
thought: Time with God….
Oh, you who are complaining that overwork, or too much zeal in
doing the work is hindering your spiritual efficiency, do you not see that if
you would but submit your timetable to the inspection of Christ and His Holy
Spirit, you would find that a new life would be yours if you fully believed and
put into daily practice the word: My time is in thy hand.”
