Tick tock, tick tock, the second hand races around the face of a clock. The seconds and minutes and hours seemingly click off at a breathtaking speed these days. Saying ‘tick tock’ is a way of expressing the fast-paced nature of life in this modern-day world. It is a way to imply that time is limited, the deadline is approaching, and time is running out.
Does this not feel or sound familiar as we rapidly approach the coming Rapture, the Great-Tribulation Period, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, and the Millennium? How are you spending your precious time today?
God has pre-programmed each of us before we are born with how many seconds, months, or years we have to live here on Earth, be it short or long. God knows, but we do not know how short or long our life will be, so we must accept the fact that we cannot add one cubit (adding a single hour or moment) to our pre-planned life span, no matter how hard we may try. That is why we are not to worry about, or be anxious about, how long we will live, for that is futile. Rather, we should wisely use the precious time we do have to live for and serve the Lord God.
I would say to all the young people today, it will serve you much, much, much better in the long run going forward to be more attentive to God’s tick tock than to the Tic Toc of social media.
Use wisely the time God gives you—because there is no time like the current time—and that is why our time here and now on Earth is called the ‘present’ time—because it is a gift from God.
One thing is for sure: there really is a time for every purpose under God’s heaven! And time is priceless—when we use it to please, honor, and glorify God and His Son, Jesus Christ. God has numbered our days, so make your time precious—by sharing the Gospel of Jesus with everyone!
Accept Jesus as the one and only Savior from your sins—and you will enjoy an endless amount of time with Him for all eternity. Jesus paid the price for you to have a potentially abundant life here on Earth—and then enjoy a timeless amount of time to be with Him—forever in Heaven!
“And do this, understanding the occasion. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed” (Romans 13:11).
May God bless your days and time, and may you return the favor to God and His Son, Jesus!
