No matter what changes, no matter how much changes, TIME remains the same.
And even though we know that, we never seem to have enough time. Consider the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Calvin says to Hobbes, "God put me on earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind I will never die!"
How many times have we felt like Calvin? So busy, so pressed for time that we can never finish all we set out to do.
Maybe you’ve heard the joke of the pilot who announced over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that we’re making excellent time. The bad news is that our navigational systems are malfunctioning and we have no idea where we’re going."
Too often we waste our lives with idle living. We’re making good time, but we don’t know where we’re going. Listen to this scripture:
Psalm 39:4-6 - "Show me, O Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man’s life is but a breath.”
