Do You Value Your Time?
- How do we value ONE YEAR? Ask a student who failed a grade.
How do we value ONE MONTH? Ask a Mother whose baby arrived prematurely.-
How do we value ONE WEEK? Editor’s of weekly newspapers know.
-
How do we value ONE HOUR? Ask someone who lies terminally ill waiting for a loved one who is late.
-
How do we value ONE MINUTE? Ask someone who missed a plane, a train, a very important engagement that would never be rescheduled.
-
How do we value ONE SECOND? Ask an Olympic Medalist, someone who just missed having an accident, or someone saying good-bye to a loved one they will never see again.
Our times are in His hands (Ps. 31:15), and the Father is always on schedule (John 11:6–10).
Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming (Matthew 24:42). Even Jesus worked under the shadow of a limited time. “We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; night comes, when no one can work” (John 9:4).
Time is a very precious commodity. No one knows how much of it he has left. Use it wisely.
So very true. I struggle with my time. Especially at night when my little Caleb won’t sleep til late -or early. This is very encouraging. Thanks a lot!
