Tick Tock

Time. Since the beginning of mankind, time has always been running out. Time is short. It doesn't wait for anyone. No matter what you think about it... like there's not enough of it, etc. time just keeps ticking and ticking away. Notice how people always say time is ticking away. It never comes toward you.

Time is a luxury that none of us can afford to waste. It's too precious and valuable too just do nothing with it. We all have this gift called time. How we choose to use it is up to each of us as individuals.

We can look at time a couple ways here... People say that they "don't have time" for certain things. For instance, people don't have time to attend church, or pray, or live for God, etc. But what does that really mean? You don't have time for church because you work on Sunday's. So really you have time, but you just choose to spend it at work on Sunday. Get it?

On the other hand, we can view time a different way. I don't have time to: gossip, ridicule people, live the way I want, back bite, fade away from God, etc.

We have time in our hands. We just have to choose to do the right thing with it. We can choose to succumb to the things of this world like jobs, money, things that keep you away from God and the church... Or we can say that we don't have time for anything other than what God wants for us.

You choose what to do with your time. Whatever you do with it is up to you. But think about this: Jesus is soon to return. The time clock of this world and this life is winding down and will soon be no more. Time is a luxury that none should waste. Get busy doing the things for God. That's the only things that will last. Sure we might have to work hard and fast, but that just means we'll be doing a work for God and spending our time wisely. In doing that, our minds and lives will be occupied with Him and His work and we won't have time to be distracted or swayed by the things of this world.

We can spend our time foolishly or we can spend our precious time spreading God's Word, doing His work, and helping others... the choice is yours. How will you spend your time...?
