In my blogs, I have written about time more than anything else. It is because time is important. There is very little time left in our lives. Even if you live a 100 years, you still don’t have much time left. Time is finite. There is a beginning and an end to time. It was created for man to tell days, months, years and the seasons of the year. Time was calculated by man using the rising of the sun and the going down of the same. We use time to judge everything. How much time does it take to accomplish a task? When will the weather patterns change? How long will a person live? It is a very important commodity for us. It is how we judge our lives.

There is something that I have observed about time. It is the most wasted gift we have. There is an old saying, that youth is wasted on the young. It is because we spend our time in the pursuit of nothing. What am I talking about? Don’t get mad if you see your pursuit of nothing in my list. I am talking about the pursuit of nothing. We waste time on satisfying the need for pleasure. I am not saying that we don’t need comfort, but people have taken them to an art form.

You can never get back wasted time. Once, you have spent your time, it is gone forever. Time is too short to waste it on nothing. Although God created time for man to use, He emphasizes the importance of time and how to use it correctly. God talk about Now. It is the time that we have to do something in our life.

“behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2

“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” Ephesians 5:15-17

So, redeem your time, because all we have is now.

What will you do when time runs out? Just like an hour glass, time will run out for everyone. We are given by God a certain about of time. We can do whatever with of lives until time runs out. Then what is going to happen to us? It is a very valid question that everyone must answer. No one can escape answering the question. People put off answering that question until they understand it’s all over for them. Then reality sets in as they see their lives clearly. What they did or did not do in their lives. It is an unsettling dilemma. People have to face that dilemma with uncertainty. Not knowing what is going to happen to them if they don’t settle the issue of their life.

How can we settle the issue or even know what is going to happen? Why do we know about or even be concerned with this issue? There is a hole in our being. To become whole we have to try to fill that hole with something. I have watched people fill that hole with money, power, sex, drugs or anything that they think will fill that hole. The only problem is that hole was designed by God to be filled with only one thing, God Himself.

It is said the people fear death because of this hole and are held in bondage to it. This is when people become slaves to money, power, sex, drugs or anything that they can fill that hole with.

So how do we break free from this bondage and fill that hole in our lives? There is a plan in place for us that is over 6000 years old. It was there at the beginning of time for every human being. God finished the work for us about 2000 years ago. This work was done for us because God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. His only begotten son is Jesus Christ. And all we have to do is to turn to Him and repent of our sins and believe in Him. This will fill that hole in your life and assure you of the life to come when time runs out.
