Time Ain't On Our Side
Time Ain't on Our Side
Time slips away. How often do we look at the clock and say, oh no, I'm late.? How often do we wish that we could manage our time better? But then, who can manage time? Like a great threshing machine, time is mowing down the days of our lives. Time marches on and it has no concern for our plans or desires.
No, we cannot manage time. But we can manage our actions. We can learn to make better use of our energies and activities. The important thing is to prioritize. Decide what matters and don't waste time on things that don’t.
I have found that the energy spent trying to impress people is energy and time wasted. Entertainment can also be a stealer of life. The hours squandered in front of the TV, on video games, or even reading meaningless books are gone forever. And I know this is true because I often wish that I could have my hours back.
Yet these are not the only time thieves. Sometimes things that are good and important steal our time. Jobs are important. But there are times when a job will rob us of valuable family time. Hobbies and sports often take us away from the more important things and yes, even church can have a detrimental impact on the wise use of time.
But know this, God has a plan for us. We need to seek His will for our time. Every minute of it. We are not here to please ourselves or others. We are here to glorify God.
Think about this we don’t know the number of our days! Any second now our life here on earth could end. When it does you will answer to God for, “among other things” your use of Time. If He calls you today, would you be ashamed of how you spent Time?
