Mark 6:35-44 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:… Here observe — 1. God wastes nothing — in nature, in providence, in grace. 2. Thrift is duty. The wasteful have as little to give as the penurious. 3. Husbandry of joys is wisdom. Too late to begin trying to "gather up the fragments" when calamity has come. 4. Husbandry of time is duty. The men who do most in this world are those who waste least time. 5. Those who give, get more than they part with. Lend a boat to Christ, and you get a miraculous draught of fishes. Give him five loaves, and He will give you twelve baskets of fragments back. He that saves his money loses it; but he that loses it for love's sake, will keep it. (R. Glover.)
