Extra hour?
So how did you spend your bonus hour
this weekend? Did you very judiciously plan out how to get the most out of your
extra sixty minutes? Did you just sleep away that extra time like many? Or did
you squander those extra three thousand, six hundred seconds? Or might you be
wondering why I’m so curious about something as insignificant as one hour?
How precious is your time? Maybe a
better question is how precious is the time that God has granted each of us? We
call it our “time of grace”. God has given each of us our lifetime for us to
come to faith in him and to serve him, our time to experience his grace, his
love for us. So how precious is this time? None of us knows how much time we
have been allotted by our heavenly Father. We may have many years ahead of us
or only a few weeks, days, or hours.
The psalmist David said, “But I trust
in you, O Lord; I say, ‘You are my God.’ My times are in your hands.” Psalm 31:14-15. We know that God is in
control of all things and has promised to make all things work for our good. He
is working for us to arrive in heaven when our time here is finished. Let us
remember how precious this time is and ask our God to help us use his time
wisely.
