“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going<\/em>” (Ecclesiastes 9:10).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
By that time it is too late to do anything. The time to do something with your life is right now.<\/p>\n
“For He says: “In<\/em>\u00a0an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation<\/em>” (II Corinthians 6:2).<\/p>\n
“And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts<\/em>” (Romans 13:11-14).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
