Time: The one thing that we cannot buy at the mall or the department store or even online. There is simply no way to get more. And people are feeling the crunch right now with Christmas and New Years quickly approaching. We could all use a little extra time.
Time is God's provision to us, we are to use it wisely. And here is what He has to say about our use of it.
EPHESIANS 5:15 Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, (redeeming the time) because the days are evil.
And God has plans for our time...
PSALM 139:16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
PSALM 139:16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
And here is more great advice-
Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
So...I suppose we should not worry about time, how much we have or how quickly it is passing, especially when we know Christ as our Savior. We should remember that the day that we first received Christ and accepted Him as as our Savior was the first day of our New Life which is also the day that we began living Eternal Life. So even when we leave this world of clocks and calendars we still live-but in eternity without the restraints and confines of time.
Try to enjoy the next 31 days before we begin a whole new year of opportunities.
Blessings, Pastor P
