When you wish to do something evil, you retire from the public into your house where no enemy may see you; from those places of your house which are open and visible to the eyes of men you remove yourself into your room; even in your room you fear some witness from another quarter; you retire into your heart, there you meditate: He is more inward than your heart. Wherever therefore, you shall have fled, there He is. From yourself, whither will you flee? Will you not follow yourself wherever you shall flee? But since there is One more inward even than yourself, there is no place where you may flee from God angry but to God reconciled. There is no place at all whither you may flee. Will you flee from Him? Flee unto Him.”
The Doctrine of God_Herman Bavinck
Quoted from Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology
dont waste your summer (& life) as coined by Pastor Aaron and most likely adopted from the infamous sermons delivered by John Piper.
6Go to the ant, O sluggard,
Observe her ways and be wise,
7Which, having no chief,
Officer or ruler,
8Prepares her food in the summer
And gathers her provision in the harvest.
9How long will you lie down, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?
10“A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest”–
11Your poverty will come in like a vagabond
And your need like an armed man.
>>> Proverbs 6:6-11 <<<
A reminder to you and I to think ahead and focus on the eternal.
