“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you” (1 Thessalonians 5:1).

Paul didn’t need to inform the Thessalonians concerning these things.

“For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night” (2).

They already knew.

So do I.

This morning I read those verses again and ask myself, “Does it affect how I live and for what purpose I live?”

I am busy, busy, busy. (I didn’t include the word enough times, but you get the point.)

But in my busy-ness, what Eternally Important Things am I leaving unattended and undone?

Oh let me live always with the right focus and right priorities and the right purposes!
