First or last God will call for an account how His goods have been improved. He has given you a stock to trade up on for Him: light, grace, parts, capacities, gospel privileges and opportunities, liberty, peace, experiences, with many mercies and afflictions, which are all your Lord's goods and must be accounted for, upon the passing of which depends your eternal state or much of your soul's peace. The Lord Jesus has a double audit, or accounting, with His servants: in this life in the court of conscience and in the judgment day at the bar of God. Bartholomew Ashwood

Whenever you have several ways before you for the laying out of your money or your time, let the question be seriously put to your heart: Which of these ways shall I wish at death and judgment that I had expended it? And let that be chosen as the way.
Stewardship0A man may pray like a saint or an angel and yet not have a jot of the Spirit of prayer. But it is the encouragement of the Spirit to wrestle with God by Christ; the inward suggestions of hope when a soul can go to God as to a father, when the very heart goes out to God in prayer, and when prayer is winged with faith and love. These are the effects of a Spirit of prayer and the fruit of a soul's reception of Christ. Best Treasure
