TIME, Our Greatest ALLY and ENEMY

INFORMATIVE, INSIGHTFUL, ENLIGHTENING

TIME, Our Greatest Ally and Enemy provides tremendous insight and perspective. God owns time and sets it in motion for His purpose; how we manage it is our responsibility. It is often said, ＂Our greatest commodity is time.＂ If this is true, we must exercise discretion and wisdom regarding how we use it. Time cannot be recreated or recycled, and we cannot get it back or bottle it to use later. Whether we realize it or not, every detail of our lives is housed in time; therefore, we must understand the value of numbering our days. Using time as an ally to serve the Lord, discover ourselves, enjoy our relationships, and reach out to help others will provide the peace we need about how we live during our stay on Earth. As our enemy, time points to the decline we experience each day because we can measure the beginning, progression, and now, the end. Everything that we find comfort in and enjoy will eventually conclude. Considering the dwindling of time, what should be our aim as the followers of Christ? Maybe it’s worth considering that we all have a course to finish. Each of us has been specifically and purposefully given a work to complete in our lifetime. How we use and manage the time we’ve been afforded is significant to how well we do in this life and the degree to which we are rewarded in the next.
