An inscription on a sun-dial said of the
hours capercunt et imputantur They pass
by, and they are charged to our account.

God has given us all the time we need to do His
will. Or in another way, His will does not
require more time than He has given us. Doing
things that He has not given us to do consumes
time we should be using for His will.

4
Godliness results from a disciplined spiritual
life, that is, spending our time doing what is
the best thing for our good and Gods Glory.

I have just a little minute,Only sixty seconds
in it,Forced upon me, cannot refuse it.Did not
seek it, did not choose it, But it is up to me
to use it.I must suffer if I abuse it,Just a
tiny, little minute,But eternity is in it.

7
Man never achieves a clear knowledge of himself
unless he has first looked upon God's face,
and then descends from contemplating Him to
scrutinize him self." John Calvin

Misuse of time is a sin like wasting money.
Buying things that we dont need is like doing
things with our time that we shouldnt.

power employed, Always and all for God.

thy hands, The now on which the shadow stands.

36
There are some things which cannot be learned
quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be

man's life to know them the little new that each
man gets from life is very costly and the only
heritage he has to leave. Ernest Hemingway

Man is like a mere breath His days are like a
passing shadow. Psalms 1444
 

71
There are 8,736 hours in a year. If we subtract
1/3 for sleeping, there remains 5,824 conscious
hours. 10 of our conscious hours would be
582 hours, a tithe of our awake time. 582 divide
by 52 is 11hours per week that we could God as a
tithe of our time. If we spend four hours in
formal church worship, that would leave 1 hour
per day including Sunday for personal and secret
relationship with God.
 

72
If men were as lavish with their money as they
are with their time if it were as common a thing
for them to throw away their money as it is for
them to throwaway their time, we would think them
beside themselves, and not in possession of their
right minds. Yet time is a thousand times more
precious than money.

Spend your time in nothing which you know must be

should surprise you in the act. Baxter
