On Time

Time is a funny thing. I think it was Kermit the Frog who said, "Times fun when your having flies." Time can be wasted or saved. Time can be lost or found. Time can be managed (wisely or poorly). Time waits for no man, but heals all wounds. You can be on it or behind it. Time passes so slowly when your young or waiting for something or especially when you are young and waiting for something. I have heard it said, "The older you get, the faster time flies."

In a given day, if a person lives through from start to finish, we all get the same amount of it. We all get the same 24 hours, but we don't all use it the same way. Some people make the most of their time, while others kill time.

As followers of Christ, we are called to redeem the time. But what does that mean? It means we have to make the most our of every moment. We live, love, learn, and serve as if each moment might be our last. We must live out our time here with the full knowledge that at any moment we will be called to give an account of how we used our time.

The clock it ticking. Time is slipping away from us all. We can remember moments in our life, but we can't turn back time. God has given us this present moment live and move and breath in his glorious grace, but will we make the most of it?
