TIME

Do you wear a watch? I don't but a lot pf people do.

There’s a clock on your cell phone, the dashboardof your car, your computer screen and hanging on the wall in almost every room you will enter today.

Why are we humans so obsessed with knowing what time it is? 

The reason is rather obvious, don’t you think? We only have so much time! That’s right; we only have so many hours in a day, days in a week, and so on. Once they’re gone, there is simply no way to get them back. So we schedule and plan according to the clock. We make appointments and arrangements. We calculate travel time, meeting time, mealtime, bed time and wake up time. We use a schedule because the last thing we want to do is waste time. We even try to schedule some down time and vacation time. 

What does all this scheduling say about the value of time? Time is the essence of life. 

There are plenty of things you can get by without, but time is not one of them. You can live for days without food and water. But you cannot live for one second without time, and that’s true no matter who you are. No amount of influence, power or money, can change the fact that, when your time is up, you are done. 

Time is life itself.

Time is not limited to the productive side of life because everything in life requires some of our precious time. Relationships are built from time. Every experience represents a certain amount of time. Amazingly, we spend about a third of our total time allotment sleeping. Our humanity is all about how we spend our time. 

The Bible echoes the importance of time. There are dozens of written truths about time. Just go to Yahoo.com and search, "what does God say about time".
