Redeem the Time.

By John Foster

THE heavenly spirits, when their purpose is effected, do not stand in wonderment at their own exploits; they take no breathing time; they want no leisure to rest from the toil, and contemplate the conquest. It is a very ordinary thing to them; it excites no particular surprise or elation in their minds; they do not think of repose. So should it be with the servants of God on earth. They should not stand still, wondering at their own doings, or think they deserve a year's holiday after the labor of one exploit; they also should be in solemn haste—their time is all too short. Not an hour should pass, after their greatest effort, without preparing for some new service.—John Foster.
