Golden Treasury
The time is short. 1 Corinthians 7:29. Therefore, redeem the time. Ephesians 5:16. For we have here no continuing city, but we seek one to come. Hebrews 13:14.
A Christian is only covetous of time, always to lay up something for eternity; but not greedy of money, or given to other lusts. It grieves him rather, when he feels something of this against his will. He is content to have little of temporal things, and even to suffer losses in these, if he can but gain something for the life to come. This he chiefly aims at in his trade and conversation, looking upon himself in this world only as a traveller in an inn.
Why should this earth delight us so?
Why should we fix our eyes
On these low grounds where sorrows grow,
And every pleasure dies?
While time his sharpest teeth prepares
Our comforts to devour,
There is a land above the stars.
And joys above his power.
There we shall be dissolved and die.
The sun must end his race;
The earth and sea for ever fly
Before my Saviour’s face.
When will, that glorious morning rise?
When the last trumpet sound,
And call the nations to the skies
From underneath the ground?
