Time Is Racing (# 74)

There ought to be a “time policeman.”  I’ll tell you why: “Yesterday” it was Christmas morning.  I distinctly recall attending church at 6:00 a.m.  Yes, that’s right!

Now, “a few hours later” and it is the middle of the year.  June 26, 2013 to be precise.

Where has the time gone?  A forensic audit is needed here!

Days, weeks just seem to be flying by.  Time seems to be racing toward some event.

Hmmm!

How is this possible?  It’s the same 24 hours in a day.

Are we busier now than we have ever been?  Maybe, but I don’t think that is the answer.  So what then is the explanation?

In Matthew 24:22 God said that the days would be shortened “for the elect’s sake.”

So, how could the days be shortened if a day is still 24 hours?  I’ll leave that one for the theologians.

But the fact remains – time is moving swiftly.  And you know what?  We have to find ways to add value to our existence here on earth.  If not, we will simply have a “treadmill experience” – walking but going no way, just caught in the endless monotony of hours, days, week rolling over and over.

Suddenly our lives would have ended and we would not have achieved anything.

I’ve found the best way to add value to our lives is to simply have a relationship with Jesus Christ and live our lives with purpose serving the kingdom of God.
