Where Has The Time Gone?

Hebrews 2:1 " Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip."

As I got into the office this morning I was running a little late. For those of you who know me, that just isn't a good thing. I had to wait a little longer at the bank than expected so now I find myself in a bit of a rush to get things done. What is the problem? Well, it is really very simple. I had made my plans, but they didn't work out the way that I expected them to. The time that I thought I had to get ready for the morning's activities has come and gone. Isn't that the way it is in life. Some people are confronted with the need for Salvation, but because they are young and "have plenty of time" they put it off. They think that they too have a lifetime ahead of them and can make this decison later. Then, one morning they wake up with some aches and pains that they haven't felt before and realize it is from playing with the grandchildren. Where has the time gone? That decision to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior is still waiting because God has been so gracious as to give them more time. They are confronted with that decision once again and decide that there is too much to do today, but tomorrow they will seriously give it some thought. Only to realize that tomorrow never comes! We may plan for the future but we only live in the present. James reminds us that our life is nothing more than a vapor that comes and goes and that each day is a gift from God. Please, don't waste what God has blessed you with. Use today wisely, lest you also ask "where has the time gone.?"
