Opportunity to be Seized
Union Magazine
Mark 13:15-16
And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:…


Opportunity is like a string of stepping stones across a ford. The traveller, coming up to them, may find the river so swollen with the rains that the stones are all but covered. If he delay, though his home be on the opposite bank, and full in sight, it may be too late to cross, and he may have a journey of several miles to reach his home.

(Union Magazine.)
