HAPPY NEW YEAR: A NEW BEGINNING
As you move into the new year we look at a block of time.
We see 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8760 hours, 525600 minutes, 31536000 seconds.
And yes, all is a gift from God.
We have done nothing to deserve it, earn it, or purchased it.
Like the air you breathe, time comes to you as a part of life.
The gift of time is not yours alone.
It is given equally to each person.
Rich and poor, educated and non-educated, strong and weak.
Every man, woman and child has the same 24 hours each day.
Another important thing about TIME is that you cannot stop it.
There is no way to slow it down, adjust it, or stop it.
Time moves on.
And you can never bring back time.
Once it is gone, it is gone forever.
Yesterday is lost forever. If yesterday is lost, tomorrow is uncertain.
You might look ahead at a full year’s block of time,
but you really do not have a guarantee that you will experience any of it.
Obviously, time is one of your most precious possessions.
You can worry over it, You can waste it, You can spend it on ourselves,
Or, as good stewards, you can invest it in God’s kingdom.
The new year is full of time.
As the seconds tick away,
will you be tossing time out the window,
or will you make every second count?
