While there is a season for everything and “a time to every purpose under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1), God has entrusted us to use what He has given us in a beautiful, purposeful manner.

Time is expensive, for it is the one resource we can use but can never get back, grow back, or buy back. As quickly as the second hand marches in its nonstop rotation around the clock, that moment has passed—then another, and another.

With each second of time, we are given a beautiful offering in this life to do something positive and purposeful. With each second granted, there are possibilities. Opportunities stand before us, if only we will take the time to recognize them.

“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom” (Psalm 90:12), the psalmist proclaimed. Taking inventory of our time and delegating each portion with intentional purpose helps us use the gift of these twenty-four hours in a way that not only honors the God who gave us time, but also reflects our care in stewarding it well.

Will all our time be ordered with busyness and tasks? No. Ecclesiastes reminds us that life consists of seasons—times of action and times of rest, moments to allow the varying experiences we face to unfold as they must.

Yet as the second hand continues to turn, I recognize the precious gift given to me in this moment—and in those that follow. With that recognition comes a desire to be more mindful and aware of how I use my time.

Time, in and of itself, is beautiful to have and to experience. Experience it well, my friend. Use it wisely, and you will never regret a single second you have spent.

Blessings to you~
