In our lives, there are a great many time saving devices. In our kitchens we see microwave ovens, electric can-openers, dish washers, blenders, food processors. In the basement, electric saws, drills and planes are neatly stored on the workbench, while in the garage, there are lawnmowers, weed-whackers and hedge clippers. We have so many labor saving, time saving devices. Time is the currency which God gives to us with which we work out the salvation gained for us twenty centuries ago by the Lord Jesus.
Time is evanescent, slipping through our fingers like quicksilver.
Before we know it, it is gone. Time is the stuff of which our spirituality is knit.
