Year of Time...
…Though
even thinking on the subject of time may prove discomforting, it is not a bad
idea—especially at the beginning of a new year.
As we look into 2012 we look at a block of time. We see 12
months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds.
And all is a gift from God. We have done nothing to deserve it, earn it, or
purchased it. Like the air we breathe, time comes to us as a part of life.
The gift of time is not ours alone. It is given equally to
each person. Rich and poor, educated and ignorant, strong and weak—every man,
woman and child has the same twenty-four hours every day.
Another important thing about time is that you cannot stop
it. There is no way to slow it down, turn it off, or adjust it. Time marches
on.
And you cannot bring back time. Once it is gone, it is gone.
Yesterday is lost forever. If yesterday is lost, tomorrow is uncertain. We may
look ahead at a full year’s block of time, but we really have no guarantee that
we will experience any of it.
Obviously, time is one of our most precious possessions. We
can waste it. We can worry over it. We can spend it on ourselves. Or, as good
stewards, we can invest it in the kingdom of God.
The new year is full of time. As the seconds tick away, will
you be tossing time out the window, or will you make every minute count?
