Imagine there is a bank that credits your account every morning with $86,400…It carries over no balance from day to day. At the end of every day, whatever part of the balance you failed to use is deleted. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course.
Each of us have such a bank…its name is time. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds and every night it writes off as lost whatever you failed to invest. It carries no balance and it allows for no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back and there is no drawing against the “tomorrow”.
The Psalmist writes in Psalm 90:12 “Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Time is a treasure. God says we should treasure time as a valuable commodity. To realize the value of one year ask a student who failed a grade…to realize the value of one month ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby. How valuable is an hour? Ask the businessman whose flight was delayed an hour and he missed an important business deal. One minute? Ask that man who had a heart attack and an EMT just happened to be sitting next to him. How valuable is a second? Ask the person who barely missed a head-on collision with an oncoming car. How valuable is a millisecond? Ask the Olympic swimmer who missed qualifying by six-tenths of a second.
A. W. Tozer “Time is a resource that is nonrenewable and nontransferable. You cannot store it, slow it up, hold it up, divide it or give it up. You can’t hoard it up or save it for a rainy day…when it’s lost it’s unrecoverable…when you kill time, remember that it has no resurrection.”
Time is a treasure–the most valuable asset in this world…use it wisely today
