  This weekend is the spring forward time for daylight savings.  Every year many people miss taking notice of the changing time and forget to change their clocks and miss some activities.  Time, even just an hour, is a precious and fleeting thing.  In a moment of time, a man can become a husband.  In a moment of time a woman can become a mother.  In a moment of time person can move from perfect to flawed and from guilty to forgiven.

            In John 17:1 Jesus prays to the Father and says “the time has come”.  Our Lord recognized the power of a moment in time.  He never let something slip away because He didn’t have the time.  He never overlooked an activity because He lost track of time.  He never carried a daytimer or palm organizer but He always seized the moment.

            As a pastor, I have the privilege of marking time with people.  I will be doing a wedding this weekend.  I have prayed with a family and their new baby last week.  I had the honor of speaking in a graveside service with another family two weeks ago.  Seeing all these events I can’t help but be reminded of the precious gift that God has given to us and how we often misuse it.  I think of all the days wasted in pursuit of things not worthy of the time God has given.  I think of all the trivial things I have spent time worrying about.  I think of the many ways I can be a better steward of God’s gift of time.  What about you?  It’s not a question of being busy with your time but being effective.  It’s not an issue of lost time but a question of squandering your time.  Take some time today and look hard at what your schedule says, are you springing ahead or falling back?

See You At Sherman!
