Time

To God, time is nothing. He has always been, and will always be. Our concept of time as humans is very limited. If we are lucky, a human can live up to 100 years and some a little beyond. This is a drop in the bucket to time itself.

The Bible tells us that as Christ-followers, we should be good stewards of the time we have on earth. God knows how long He has for us to live in this flesh. He created us for all eternity (our soul, not our flesh). We are to manage our time with the thought of “How would God want me to spend His time?” You should notice I put “His time” and not “our time.” Since God is our Lord, He bought us with the blood of His Son Jesus, we are His servants (or slaves) and we have nothing without Him.

Take a moment and think about the fact that we are His. The time we have been allotted on earth is His time. We should ask Him how He wants us to use it. The Bible is clear on how we should use our time. We should spend some in walking with Him through reading His word and talking with Him. We should use some of His time to talk with others about His love and sacrifice. We should use some of His time in encouraging one another.

If you are a child of the living God, your time is actually His time. Ask Him, how He wants you to spend it. Think about it.
