The Power of Time

There is no difference between a billionaire and a beggar, it doesn’t matter whether you are young or old, tall or short, we all have the same amount of hours in a single day and we all have access to the gift of free will.  What makes the difference in any life is how time and free will was and are utilized.

 You know what establishes value in our economy, supply and demand, when supplies are low or demands are high, the value goes up, and the valued price of the product or service goes up.   Time is so valuable because the supply is consistent it doesn’t change, day in and day out we get 24 hours a day regardless of the day of the week, the climate, who is in office, or regardless of popular trends, or the economy.  

Our supply, our allotment of time never changes. The demand for time is high because we have no ability to control it. When it comes to “time”, we cannot stop it, pause it, sped it up, or slow it down. So the measure of time, its supply, and its demand make time valuable.

And how we invest in the time given defines our individual lives. There used to be an old lottery slogan that said, “you have to be in it to win it”.  The same thing applies to time and life.  Each of our lives is measured by time.  When we are asked our age, we respond with dictation of time, 30 years old, 50 years old.  

When you apply for a job, the questions are asked concerning your experience, the expectation is that you respond with a measure of time.  Time is the passing of our existence.  In Job 14:5 the scripture reads “A person’s days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed. So look away from him and let him alone,  till he has put in his time like a hired laborer.

In other words,  the scripture is telling us.. each of us… has an expiration date, a day when our time will be up.  We can’t postpone it or change it all we can do is make the best of the time we have, for the scripture says we have set limits that we cannot exceed.

The scripture goes on to advise “look away, let him alone”, in other words, don’t waste your time wasting someone’s else time. The same scripture continues with “till he has put in his time like a hired laborer”.  When God purposed your life He hired you to fulfill a purpose, and some of us have been sleeping on the clock.
