He gives the very same amount each day to be either invested wisely, or squandered slothfully. Yet, unlike money, God requires of us to spend every last second of our time by the close of each day. There can be no spill-over of time into the next day to be spent or invested. We must spend all the time allotted within each day. By definition, it is a portion of duration which exists within history.
Time includes past, present and future.
It is defined in the Scriptures as season, opportunity or occasion. All these terms properly signify both what Time is, and how it should be viewed. In Psalm 71.15 David declares that he hasn t the knowledge of his life s duration. So it is with us. We know not the number of our days.
