Ecclesiastes
3:1
There is a time for everything, and a
season for every activity under the heavens: (NIV)
Extra Hour
I really enjoyed having an extra hour
yesterday, especially on a Sunday. It
gave me extra time to prepare my heart to join other believers in worship of
our God. But by the time 11 PM came, I
wasn’t so delighted to have a day that was 25 hours rather than 24. When God designed the day into 24 hours, He
knew the endurance of the fleshly body.
We may think we need extra time each day, but God, in His wisdom, knows
we would abuse the time by abusing our bodies even more than we do now. There is a time appointed for everything we
need to do. Our problem is we don’t
consult God on how to use the time He provides for us and what to do and when
to do it. We all have the same amount of
time in a day. Some may think the days
are too long and some may think the days are too short. Some of us vacillate between the two thoughts
depending on the day. To start our day
out talking to God and asking Him to order our day is the best use of our time
and, when we do this, we will find the time we have in that day is just the
exact right amount of time. Let us let
the Creator of the day, the Creator of time, guide us in the best use of it.
