'Moment'ous Composition

Eph.5:15-16See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,redeeming the time, because the days are evil. With moments we compose, not only what we will be remembered for,but what we will give account to God for! Already the previous hour's moments are sealedin a Ledger above! Ps.90:12Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Below excerpt from Making the Most of Life by J. R. Miller We hold within creature-facades, an invisible cupFilled with moments and countless odds, of how we use them upWhere what we do with the divine allotment of each breathAnd the free will that runs it through, follows us, after death How often in the heat of fond hopes and dreams, dearly prizedWe lose sight of what lies beyond utopias, fantasizedWhere a cup overflowing with momentous glints of graceGrants in its brief bestowing that which transcends Time and Place This cup, with copious amounts of moment-stars unfurledSpills and fills personal accounts that wait beyond this worldGoodness and mercy-molded, each fleeting moment becomesEternally enfolded in a Book of Sacred Sums We hold a cup rife with replies to moments yet to beThis ought to bid us scrutinize potentialityOf what may seem so very small, but gathers in its wakeOur answer to God’s loving call; Eternity at stake With moments we compose more than fodder for eulogies/memoriesLifetimes are achieved in the span of moments such as theseRight here, right now; what we will account for spills from a cupWhile we choose from options galore, how we will use them up Janet Martin Who we live our moments foris a Very Crucial Investment!
