Happy 2025 !!
Here we are, facing down another New Year and if I have learned anything from the previous few years it is to not take things for granted, especially time. The past few years have flown by and I am still wondering where the time went.
Here is a story to consider as each day of the new year is placed before us…
What if we all woke up each and every morning with $86,400 in our bank account and this happened day after day over and over again? The only caveat is that we have to spend every dollar. You can’t save any of it. If this were the case, I would venture to say that most of us would spend this money wisely. We would think about it. We would make the most of every single dollar. The reality is that we do have this account available to us every day – except instead of money we have time. We all have 86,400 seconds to spend each and every day. We can’t carry them over until the next day. If we don’t use them, we lose them. Yet, how many are wasted? How many do we waste on being inefficient; on people that don’t really matter to us; on routines that don’t make us feel better about our lives; on jobs that don’t inspire us?
Ponder this concept of time. Each day is before us in this new year so how do you intend to spend your seconds? According to the Greek philosopher Theophrastus, “Time is the most valuable thing a human can spend.”
Please consider how many seconds we actually have and how many we offer to God. May our seconds be lived in praise and our days be used to glorify God’s holy name. Amen.
May you and yours have a blessed New Year.
