Back in High School I did my share of
clock-watching.
I can still remember sitting in my Geometry class and repeatedly looking at the clock to see how much longer it would be until the bell rang and we were free to go.
Today, I regret my clock-watching past... as I recall how much time I wasted.
But the memory serves me well.
Because it reminds me...
As tempting as it may be to want to go be with Jesus, this life goes by fast enough...
And He wants us faithfully doing things for His kingdom while we're here...
... Not clock-watch.
"Occupy till I come," He said to His
servants (Lk.19:13).
