Today, or should I say last night, day light savings time began for me. I usually set my clock ahead on Saturday way, way before 2 a.m. It doesn’t matter if I Spring forward or Fall backward, it takes me a while to adjust to “the time”. Excited in the Winter for the extra hour of sleep and Ecstatic in the Spring and Summer for the extra hours of daylight.
I began to think about how Daylight Savings Time is a man made concept. It, not being exactly sure, but surmising nevertheless, was invented to assist with the economy (planting and harvesting, vacationing). We are always messing with time-or should I say, we are always wasting time, losing time, never having enough time and wondering where did the time go.
Wasting time not living the life that GOD promised us-Many of us spend too much time complaining and talking about what is NOT happening to us and for us. Nothing is EVER right-It is too hot, too cold, too big, too small, This will do-BUT, I’ll take-BUT is is not what I REALLY wanted
Losing time-Still complaining and doing nothing but complaining about any and everything. NEVER satisfied. Never a joyous moment.
Never having enough time-It is due to us wasting time and losing time on those things that really don’t enhance our lives nor does it move us closer to the life GOD promised us.
Wondering where did the time go-We wasted IT murmuring and complaining. We waste our most valuable assets-time and energy critiquing, coaching, analyzing, constructing, and orchestrating the lives of others. It takes us far too long to realize that our input and our concern was not warranted or wanted.
NOW IS the time-Let us began to focus on the GODNESS (not a typo) of the LORD. Focusing on HIS GODNESS reminds us of the joy that we once had when we first heard HIM call our names. LET US use the time we have LIVING, LOVING and LAUGHING according to the promises GOD has for our lives.
Although time has changed and I am adjusting-I AM so GLAD that GOD does not change
HE IS and WILL ALWAYS BE THE GREAT I AM!!!!
