'But what did you do with yesterday?

But what did you do with yesterday?

Our days are like beautiful summer fields, as God gives them to us. The minutes are lovely blooming flowers and silvery blades of grass, and stalks of wheat with their golden foliage, or vines with their blossoms — prophecies of coming purple clusters.

Oh, the fair possibilities of the days and hours and minutes, as they come to us from God's hands!

But what did you do with yesterday? How does the little acre of that one day, look to you now? Is it waving with beauty? Are there no waste spots in it? What did you do with the seven days of last week? How does that seven-acre field appear to you?

Are there no wasted minutes, no squandered hours?

"Teach us to number our days carefully, so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts." Psalm 90:12

"Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk — not as unwise people but as wise — making the most of the time, because the days are evil!" Ephesians 5:15-16
