the Christian's use of time. Richard Baxter Be careful how you spend your time. To waste time is to squander a precious gift from God. Thomas Brooks Time, like a river, carries us swiftly toward eternity. Steer your soul well. Your life is short, and your duties are many. Therefore faint not. Walk in the paths of holiness. and heaven shall make amends for all. Jonathan Edwards Time is a talent given us by God, and He will call us to account for how we have spent it. 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. Time is precious because it gives us opportunity of escaping everlasting misery. and of obtaining everlasting blessedness and glory. Time is a thousand times more precious than money, for when it is gone it cannot be purchased for money nor redeemed by silver or gold. John Flavell Let us not trifle away our precious hours, for they are few and uncertain. Time is a talent to be stewarded, not squandered. William Gurnall Each year spent without progress and grace is a year wasted in vanity. John Owen Our days will flee away quickly, but eternity presses ever nearer. The greatest spendthrifts in the world are those who waste their time. Time is not your own, but lent to you by God. See that you spend it for His glory.

The length of our days is 70 years, or 80 if we have the strength, yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. Psalm 90 verse 12. Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Ephesians 5, verses 15 and 16.
