When we reach the age of 70, we will have lived 840 months. That’s 5,550 days or 613,200 hours or 36,792,000 minutes.
Historical time, lifetime, clock time, is brief compared to the time in eternity, which is not measured in years or months. It is important to look at how we spend our time. The past is past, the future is not here yet, and we only have the present. Therefore, we need to look at every day as a gift from God.
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 3
Ecclesiastes 3
Earthly pursuits are good in their proper place and time, but unprofitable when pursued as the chief goal. God has put eternity in our hearts.
