"Be Very Careful, Then, How You Live."

What are you doing with your time?
(J.R. Miller)

"Be very careful, then, how you live--
not as unwise but as wise--
making the most of the time" 
Ephesians 5:15-16 

Our days, as GOD gives them to us--
are like beautiful summer fields. 
The hours are like trees with their 
rich fruit, or vines with their 
blossoms of purple clusters. 
The minutes are like blooming flowers, 
or stalks of wheat with their golden grains. 

Oh the endless, blessed possibilities 
of our days and hours and minutes--
as they come to us from GOD'S hands! 

But what did you do with yesterday? 
How does the little acre of that 
one day look to you now? 

What are you doing with your time? 
Every moment GOD gives you, has in it 
a possibility of beauty or usefulness--
as well as something to be accounted for. 

Are you using your time for GOD?

"Show me, O LORD, my life's end 
and the number of my days; let me 
know how fleeting is my life!" 
Psalm 39:4

GraceGems have just published J.R. Miller's superb book, 
"Christlike Living in a Sinful World". 

This is perhaps the best book on practical Christian living that we have ever read. It has over 150 short articles, and is some 75 pages long. You may even want to print it off, so you can have it for a daily devotional.
