nThe
Bible urges us to use our time well:
nJesus'
example: John 9:4 (NIV) As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
nPaul's
admonition: 1Cor 15:58 (NIV) Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
