Sleep not in harvest-time; do not trifle away your golden seasons; you have
much work to do in a short time. You have a God to honor, a Christ to rest
on, a race to run, a crown to win, a hell to escape, a heaven to obtain. You
have weak graces to strengthen, strong corruptions to weaken; you have many
temptations to withstand, and afflictions to bear; you have many mercies to
improve, and many services to perform, etc. Therefore take hold on all
opportunities and advantages, whereby you may be strengthened and bettered
in your noble part. Take heed of crying, 'Tomorrow, tomorrow!' when God
says: "Today, if you will hear my voice, harden not your hearts," Heb
3:7-8.
