Topic: “Make hay while the sun shines!” [Friday 18 September, 2015]
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”-Psalms 90:12
Many of us have at one time or another heard the statement “make hay while the sun shines.” Some have used this statement while some others don’t even know what it means. Overall, it is about putting your hands to work so you don’t fall a victim to consequence.
No matter how long you live on the earth, your lifespan is broken down into years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds. Consequently, whatever your assignment is on the earth, you don’t have eternity to accomplish it; you only have but a season. That is why you must handle every phase with urgency, by doing what you need to do per time to make the best of that season.
Every stage of one’s life is like a piece of a puzzle that leads to the overall complete picture. Until you place the piece at hand, the puzzle will never be complete. However, time does not pause for you to make a move, it just keeps ticking. So, in as much as you have to make the right decisions and be thorough in your choices, you must also be time conscious.
Don’t spend your latter years doing what should have been done in your youthful season. Know the seasons of your life and what they entail and then, work! Those who have made great names of themselves started early and worked through each stage promptly. You too can surpass them all, if you stick to doing productive things at the right time. As you put your hand to work today, receive grace to accomplish great feats in the name of Jesus Christ!
Remain Blessed!
