“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. The work which we have to do to prepare for eternity, must be done in time, or it never can be done; and it is found to be a work of great difficulty and labor, and therefore that for which time is the more requisite” (Jonathan Edwards).

Well, here’s a cheater post if I ever wrote one! The above quote is a a snippet of a longer quote from a blogpost referencing another work! So it’s like a third-hand sentiment but I read it on the Cripplegate page last week, and have been thinking about it since.  So if you have 2 minutes, redeem the time and read the original post (Time Management in Light of Eternity). And if you have 30 minutes, consider it a time investment to read the sermon (The Preciousness of Time and the Importance of Redeeming It)!

‎”If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world”

- C.S. Lewis

From Randy Alcorn’s facebook page this morning:

“People are made for the eternal and therefore cannot be ultimately satisfied by the temporary. When you are made for another world you cannot be fully happy with this one. Realizing this can help us as we face both difficult times and wonderful times. ‘God has set eternity in the hearts of men’ (Eccles. 3:11).”

So true!

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones.”

“But our citizenship is in heaven,

and from it we await a Savior,

the Lord Jesus Christ,

who will transform our lowly body

to be like His glorious body,

by the power that enables Him

even to subject all things to Himself.”

Philippians 3:20-21
