On Time
Better three hours too soon than a minute late. (William Shakespeare)
In this quote from The Merry Wives of Windsor, we read what might seem an exaggerated note. Some people will wait three hours in line to get a good seat at a ball game or a concert, but most of us become irritated if we have to wait two minutes at a stop light. On the other hand, just a minute late can be a real problem. Good planning and early prep may help avoid either situation.
When you make a vow to the Lord your God, be prompt in fulfilling whatever you promised him. For the Lord your God demands that you promptly fulfill all your vows. (Deuteronomy 23:21)
