REDEEMING THE TIME

in #steemchurch6 years ago

We are captives of a four-letter word: "TIME". We are conceived in TIME and we die in TIME. We are in a stream got TIME which streams out of the boundless future through the point of convergence of the present and out into the past.

There is never a Period 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 hide away the water yet just channel and utilize it. So it is with humankind 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 store it up, purchase, obtain or ask a greater amount of it. Furthermore, the most serious thing about TIME is that we should offer record to God with respect to how we utilize it. You can have A great time on the off chance that you utilize it for God!

Our content difficulties us to "reclaim the time, in light of the fact that the days are abhorrent." "Recover" 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 decline 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 manhandle it;

Only a modest minimal moment

In any case, time everlasting is in it."

How vital it is then that we experience each moment as though it were our last – and one of them will be! Subsequently we are urged to "recover the time." Paul's idea of time was that it is a section of forever, given to us by God as a grave stewardship.

What is a "steward"? The word has an exceptionally intriguing historical background. It originates from an early English word "styward". The "pen" was where the pigs were kept called the "pig pen". The contracted hand who watched over the pigs was known as the "styward". From that word our pledge "steward" has advanced.

A "steward" is characterized by Webster as "one who is a director, chairman, administrator or attendant 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 effectively assess time;

• We should reliably fitting time;

• We should reliably apply time.

As children of God we are stewards of our own time, God says to make good use of time because the days are bad, let's see the example of the ants that work on good days just in case bad days come and they have a food reserve and provision for your sustenance.
