Time

Time, what is meant for the human race. Is the end of time today?

The fear that the “end of times” is vastly approaching engulfs many who watch the signs predicted in the Bible. While others shake their head in disbelief and go on their merry way without fear or concern and no knowledge of how their life may end. What should we really believe and how much “time” left for the human race, for ourselves.

I find great condolence in the book of
Ecclesiastes
chapter 3, verses 1-8. I hope that you too will find understanding and relief by the simple facts about “time.”

  1. To every thing, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.
  2. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
  3. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
  4. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
  5. A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
  6. A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
  7. A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak.
  8. A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

The thing is not to fear what could be nor run from that which should be. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Your life enjoyed, to find love, to plant, to weep, to laugh all the things that the book of Ecclesiastes is telling us to do. Live today as though tomorrow may not come. You should be thankful for each breath you take not fear the breaths that you may loose. “The end of Times” theory or belief may come tomorrow. So what? Perhaps you die today then “Your End of Times” has already arrived! Remember this when you fret about the signs that are about. Do not fear the worst that humankind predicts instead fear God above all things. God loves each one of us but we must also love and obey God. It is not for us to think about our lives tomorrow but to live for today. Our “time” is here and now.

Jesus died for our salvation to save those who believe and worship God the Father. It is a very simple easy task for anyone to do. Whatever you believe in strongly enough most people are able to achieve that goal. A person may strive to become a doctor, the president, great sports player, or just rich if this is your goal, and you strive hard enough then you normally can achieve what you desired. The fact is that “time” maybe short but your efforts are always sincere and lasting until you meet all your goals. The other fact is that those who truly believe in God taking their minds off worldly goals are able to live their “time” for God achieving the promises that Jesus promised. “time” what are you doing with yours? Fears not “the end of times” instead fear how you spend your “time” each day! Make the “time” you have on earth a way of worshiping God then you will know that when you die your “time” was well spent. May God Bless and keep you in “time.”

    Hello, I like this as we all seem to suffer from Time lag. The title is simple but the message very powerful. We all need to stop and enjoy the time we now have.
