Note: Christians have no time to be idle. Christ is soon returning to claim His own, and we need to be preparing everyday that we may be found of Him with our garments spotless and wrinkle free. We cannot be idle and belong to Him. May God help us to be diligent, hard at work, and in the Master’s service, for the harvest truly is plenteous but the laborers are few. May we answer the Lord, “Here am I, Lord send me,” and answer the world with a “Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?” Luke 2:49.
