LITTLE children think time very much longer than older persons. A child who has lived seven or eight years regards one year as a long, long period, while a man of seventy looks at one year as but a span. With the Lord one day is as one thousand years, and one thousand years as one day, but people seem to forget this, and they act like little children who think a promise forgotten when it is not at once fulfilled.
Now the Lord says He is coming quickly, and, we read, yet a little while, and come He will, for it is His promise. The Lord will come at the very moment that God has planned; and happy will they be who when He comes are watching and waiting for Him.
