Hello God, it’s me, Mara:

You know, Lord, that word ‘TIME’ -- now that is an appropriate word for another new decade which, more or less, has already begun, right? Checking out the dictionary, we view lists of numerous definitions. No matter what our status is or what our opinion of the word is, an equal amount the “time” is given to each one of us, every single day. People like to speak of time as ‘spending’ it, as though there is an endless reserve of time; and some of us folks simply like to live that way, right!

Your word, Lord, says we are to “invest” our time – make the most of our time. Ecclesiastes, chapter three deals with the subject TIME and tells how You, Lord God, have made everything appropriate in its time (check out vs. 11).

We are to walk circumspectly, carefully and cautiously, we are not to walk as fools, but as wise people redeeming the time, because the days are evil (Eph 5: 15, 16). We time-worn folks need to take heart and read Rev. 1:3 and 22:10 “…for the time is at hand,” it is as exciting as reading Rev. 10:6 “… that there should be time no longer.”

We should view that message as a new epoch/period of time coming, that is with no measurable durations. In the course of time there no longer will be a system needed of/for reckoning the progress of time. And time immemorial, which has been long-established, will be no more. Time, as we know it, will have served its purpose. Your time table Lord, is infallible though it is still a mystery to all mankind.

Thank You lord, for an interesting picture of ‘time’ and may we take advantage and paying attention to what You have told us about TIME, and may we follow through.

Love, Mara
