What is time?
Tonight I was awaken, and I ask the Lord, is there someone I need to be praying for? In that sweet small voice the Lords speaks to my heart and says everyone. Then this thought came to my mind. What is time? How important is it truly. You know I work retail and we are around alot of people everyday. All walks of life and all kinds of personalities. I watch them come ago and I wonder do they know how small of amount of time they have on this earth and do they even care. Do they consider why they were given this amount of time on earth and what is it they are suposed to do with the time line that we have been given called life. Then the Lords starts to flood my mind with scriptures, James 4:14 ,Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is you life ? It is but a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. what a sobering thought. So with this small span of time, your life that God calls a vapour, what should we and others be doing with it? You know Lord tells in the scriptures that In Deut 30:15, See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil. You know the Lord wants us to choose life. In Deut 30:20 the Lord says I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, ---Looks like according to the scriptures we are making our on video, oh my, lets hope that we would keep that ever in our minds daily. Make sure your movie is a movie that you dont mind seeing again later,back to the verse.. that I have set before you (each and everyone of us) life and death, blessings and cursing; therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. So see it is very important how we live because it effects others eternally. What a thought. Listen we should always do right for others sake, but never to think that we could merit heaven by our deeds. That was accomplished by Christ and Christ alone. He did not need our help. The bible tells us in Isa 64:6, That our righteousness is as filthy rags, so what does that tell you about our right doings. We can never meet up to Gods standard of holiness. He (christ) was the only one that was perfect and he perfectly put our sins away at calvary, but what is at stake is others. We do right for others sake so that they may see Christ. so we know that we are only hear for awhile and that we should help others to see Christ. Listen your priority before you came to the knowledge of the truth, was to seek the lord with all your heart, study the word to be fully furnished. Once your know that Christ is your saviour the your responsibilities change to family first then others. Our time line is to seek God first for salvation and then others to help them see the truth for themselves. We know we have to work and do someother things, but our whole goal in life is to know the Lord and to know that we are going to heaven when we die. When we study the scriptures we find out everything we need to know. Its our owners manual. Guiding us through this life and the life to come. Time slips away so fast. Have you or I done what we need to do today, so that someoneles may go to heaven too. Its hard dealing with life, but the Lord says he will never leave us nor forsake us. We are in a win win situation. So time is to seek and others. Not to work to be rich, nor waste it away with anything that keeps us away from God.

Right on Deana! Too many people think their "stuff" is what will make them happy. How wrong they are! You can be dirt poor, but if you have Christ in your life, you can be assured you will be provided for in every way the Lord thinks you should. The Bible is our Sword! It's our defense! We should be studying it every day! We should also be living our lives as an example of Christ. Sometimes you can't actually tell somebody about Jesus, but you can show people how they should be living by example. Our lives should always be Christ centered. It can influence a person just as much as telling them about Jesus.
