We are prisoners of a four-letter word: "TIME". We are conceived in TIME and we bite the dust in TIME. We are in a stream got TIME which streams out of the limitless future through the point of convergence of the present and out into the past. There is never a TIME when we are not slaves to TIME until the point that we come up short on TIME! A fish swims with its mouth open and the water streams into its mouth and out through its gills. It can't put away the water however just channel and utilize it. So it is with humanity and TIME. The flood of time runs quickly. "Time and tide sit tight for no man."
There are 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours and 525,600 minutes in every year. We can't accumulate it up, purchase, obtain or ask a greater amount of it. Furthermore, the most grave thing about TIME is that we should offer record to God with respect to how we utilize it. You can have the TIME OF YOUR LIFE on the off chance that you utilize it for God!
Our content difficulties us to "recover the time, on the grounds that the days are shrewd." "Reclaim" intends to purchase up the open doors – to use time for the reason for Christ - exploit each brilliant, stirred snapshot of our lives. Consistently tallies. An unknown artist composed:
"I have just barely a moment
Only sixty seconds in it;
Constrained upon me – can't deny it,
Didn't look for it, didn't pick it.
I should endure on the off chance that I lose it,
Give account on the off chance that I mishandle it;
Only a modest minimal moment
In any case, forever is in it."
How imperative it is then that we experience each moment as though it were our last – and one of them will be! In this manner we are urged to "recover the time." Paul's idea of time was that it is a section of time everlasting, given to us by God as a serious stewardship. What is a "steward"? The word has an exceptionally intriguing derivation. It originates from an early English word "styward". The "pen" was where the pigs were kept called the "pig pen". The employed hand who looked after the pigs was known as the "styward". From that word our assertion "steward" has advanced.
A "steward" is characterized by Webster as "one who is a director, executive, chief or guardian of a trust." A Christian steward is "one to whom God has given a trust, which is to be overseen for Him and for which we should at last give a record."
Time is one of those trusts. We are to be great stewards of the endowment of time. How, at that point, would we be able to be great stewards of time? There are no less than three different ways that I propose to you:
• We should accurately assess time;
• We should honestly fitting time;
• We should reliably apply time.
