Answer
to Last Week’s Word Search
Render
unto Caesar
Life Is What You Make It
Ø
A blacksmith
makes five dollars worth of iron into horseshoes and gets ten dollars
for them.
Ø
A cutler makes
the same iron into knives and gets two hundred dollars.
Ø
A machinist
makes the same iron into sixty-eight hundred dollars' worth of
needles.
Ø
A watchmaker
makes it into two hundred thousand dollar's worth of mainsprings; or
into hair-springs and gets two million dollars, sixty times the value
of the same weight of gold.
So
it is with life and the opportunity given each of us when we are born.
One person takes her time and talents and combines them to advance her
earthly interests alone. Another takes the same opportunity, and
through wisdom and the counsel of God's Word, shapes and molds his
life for time and eternity. Wise people refine their character so that
they are worth something to the world and useful to God. The world was
made better and richer for their having lived.
It
is up to you whether you will develop your life into a noble
accomplishment, your character into a thing of beauty, and your
talents into a source of glory to God. An aimless, drifting,
purposeless life does not bespeak even the intelligent forethought of
the ant, which harvests in the summer against the ravages of winter (Prov.
6:6). We may botch our lives with sin and uselessness until late in
life, and then come to our senses. We might even patch up the broken
pieces, but it is a sorry apology to leave in payment for a life of
magnificent possibilities. "Oh that they were wise, that they
understood this, that they would consider their latter end!"
(Dent. 32:29). Life is what you make it - so don't waste it.
