Time What is It?

  There are 30 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 365 days in a year (give or take). It’s always been that way and will continue to be that way. Time moves on at the same pace it always has.

  But it sure doesn’t feel that way.

  You might think back to the 90's as ten years ago but check again it was thirty. You may think your favorite movie just came out but consider you took your wife to it on your first date. That concert that is coming to town featuring that new band, their last hit was a decade ago. Time has a funny way of speeding up the longer you take it in.

  It works the other way as well. We think we spend lots of time doing something and in reality, it has only been moments. We waste huge chunks of time and it is over in a flash. Time flies but it also grinds along at a snail’s pace.

  Yet in reality, it is all the same. It’s how we use it that makes it feel different. Consider Paul’s word in Ephesians 5:15-16, “Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil”.

  Time is too precious a resource to waste. It’s not how many years in your life but how much life in your years. Or maybe better put how much good you put into your life.
