In time? A number of years ago chaired a meeting and gaveled it over. Attenders left as I hurriedly stuffed papers into my briefcase. That’s when I discovered an important document I needed to share with someone who had left. Leaving everything behind, I dashed outside, waving my arms to get his attention. Just as he was closing his car door, I reached him, out of breath, and handed him the document. I felt relieved to have been “in time.”
Think about it. Time is a curious thing—nobody has enough, yet everyone wastes it. It’s elusive, always passing and never pausing. Does it seem that if you don’t seize it as it comes, you’ll find it slipping away before you know it?
God’s Word: "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil (Ephesians 5:15-16).”
Are you struggling to be “in time” with someone you love? Remember, you’ll never have enough unless you decide to prioritize it and race to catch it. It’s been said, “The only time you will have is the day after you are dead.” By then, it’s too late. Look around—time is passing by. Be “in time” with those you love; grab moments while you can, as they may not be there next time you look.
We pray. help us prioritize our time with loved ones and cherish each moment. Remind us to be present and intentional, for time is fleeting. May we seize every opportunity to connect, creating lasting memories before it's too late. Guide us in valuing the time you give.
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34)
