What time is it?
What time do I have to be there?
How much time do I have left?
Can you believe how much time that took?
How can I save time?
How old are you?
How much time do you have left…..
Everything I do is in the context of time. It is the most valuable resource I have. I believe it is one of SATAN’S greatest tools to use against me. “If time is all I have,” Satan whispers in my ear, “then maximize it to get the most of what YOU want now.” “When your time is up, the game is over.” Life becomes a game like catch phrase with the timer ticking. The timer starts off really slow and gradually increases. With every second your pulse quickens, the stress heightens, and then the buzzer blows…… what a pressure cooker!
When I read the first five verses of John chapter 1, I realize that I need to see life in the context of GOD’S time – not Satan’s. God is not father time. He is the creator of time. In fact he was before time and will be after time ends. Life is about joining God on His mission, not creating our own and selfishly maxing it out till the buzzer blows. Life is meant to lived like…… well how Jesus did it. He was born and time started. He lived for God’s PURPOSE not His own and now lives with Him forever. Can’t measure forever in time…..
What context are you living time in? Yours or God’s?
If you want to find out your PURPOSE in God’s will, read Rick Warren’s book Purpose Driven Life to find out what is NEXT for you.
