• The man of small opportunities often makes the most of what he has, while the one of large privileges becomes slothful and neglectful. We may see a needed lesson here as to spiritual things? Is it not frequently the case that a brother or sister with much leisure for study and prayer, boundless opportunities for the enjoyment of ministry, oral and written, and gifted in large measure, will be found to be taking his or her ease in a careless, lethargic spirit, gaining very little real food daily, and giving out little to others? On the other hand, how much more common a thing is it to find one whose daily toil occupies most of his waking hours, and whose talents and education are alike of a mean order, yet devoting himself earnestly to using what he has, letting scarcely a moment slip by wasted, and so gathering regularly much food. (“Proverbs Thirteen” by H.A. Ironside)
• “No time for God” generally means “No heart for God,” if the full truth were told. (“Proverbs Thirteen” by H.A. Ironside)
