The Blessing of Time
When we focus too much attention on time, it opens the doors for doubt and worry to creep in. We begin doubting the words that God has already spoken and worrying about when, what, and where something will happen. It’s ironic because we cannot control time—it is not in our hands. But yet, we try to control it, dictate it, manipulate it, and enforce it. For instance, I could tell God, “Lord, now is the perfect time for me to start a relationship.
Everything in my life is going good and I have the time for it.“ But, in reality, I don’t know for a fact if this is the perfect time to obtain what I desire. God is the only One who sees all and knows all and that is why He is the perfect handler of time.
We can focus so much on what’s not happening that we lose sight of what is happening right now. Time is never empty—it is always full of something to do, to learn from, to experience, to give, or to receive. Instead of complaining about time and how it isn’t providing what we want, we should value time and the opportunities it provides to give us the things we need.
Lord, thank you for time. Even though I may not always know what to do with it, You do and by Your Grace You instruct me on how to use my time wisely daily. Lord, I want to use my time in a way that always brings you glory. Thank You for blessing me with this time, right now, right this second, right this moment. In Jesus name, Amen.
