“Now listen, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money. Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, ‘If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that’.” James 4: 13-15 “NO TIME FOR GOD” No time for God! What fools we are to clutter up our lives with common things and leave without heart’s gate the Lord of life itself – No time for God! As soon to say ‘no time to eat or sleep or love or die’! Or you should dwarf your soul and the angel death comes knocking at your door, a poor misshapen thing you’ll be to step into eternity. No time for God! That day when sickness comes or trouble finds you out and you cry out for God, Will He have time for you??
