When Jesus asked four fishermen to be his followers, they did not put their decision off but “at once . . . they followed him.” (Matt. 4:18-22) When Saul of Tarsus was converted and then regained his sight, he likewise did not procrastinate but “immediately in the synagogues he began to preach Jesus.” (Acts 9:20) Time constantly moves forward; once it passes, it is gone forever. That is why it is important for us to ‘walk as wise persons’ with regard to how we use our time.—Eph. 5:15, 16.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
