WHAT TIME IS IT? Search me, O God, and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts, see if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24 Seneca was a Spanish-born philosopher of Rome who lived in the first century A.D. In his essay entitled On The Shortness Of Life, he wrote the following: “It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. Life is long enough and our allotted portion generous enough for our most ambitious projects if we invest it all carefully; but when it is squandered through luxury and indifference, and spent for no good end, we realize it has gone under the pressure of the ultimate necessity, before we were aware it was going. So it is: the life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill provided for but use what we have wastefully. Kingly riches are dissipated in an instant if they fall into the hands of a bad master, but even moderate wealth increases with use in the hands of a careful steward; just so does our life provide ample scope if it is well managed.” Time is one the things in this world that once lost, cant be re cooped back. It is a perishable product and should be handled as much! Life does seem to move quickly, but if we are good stewards of the time the Lord has given to us, we will have a full life that honors Him. Note that the same 24hrs a successful has is the amount of time an unsuccessful man also has in a day. The difference between them is how usefully and how unwisely, each of them effectively utilized their times! I will therefore like you to in prayer, praise the Lord for the day and live it fully for Him. “your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them” – Psalm 139:16-17 May you live all thr days of your life- Jonathan Swift
