William Penn said, “Time is what
we want the most and use the worst.” I
am convinced that when we truly understand that we have a limited time on earth
that we will live it for God’s glory.
Somebody once thought it would be
a wonderful thing if every day of our lives each of us had $1,440 in the bank
that we had to spend before the end of the day – none of it could be carried
over to the following day. Each of us has
1,440 minutes every day. Could they be
spent in a better way?
When Mickey Mantle was sixty-one,
he was approached by an autograph-seeking middle-aged man and his little
boy. The man had tears in his eyes when
he said, “Son, it took me thirty years to get here to shake this man’s
hand. This is the greatest baseball
player who ever lived.” The little boy
looked at Mantle, then turned back to his dad and said, “Daddy, that’s an old
man.” The heroes of yesterday have aged,
and their mortality reminds us that age and change occur more rapidly than we
think or desire...which leads me to the words of the Lord in Psalm 89:47,
“Remember how short my time is.” Use it
or lose it.
What to do:
✞Remember how short your
time is.
