The Common Power of Time
What you are and become depends on how you use your time.
Time cannot be stopped, but humans can control its use.
Understanding the power of time and the cycles of your life’s path will make you appreciate your time even more.
The world enters a new year with every trip around the sun on Jan 1 of the calendar year. Our birthdates serve as new years to those celebrating another year here on Earth.
The Advantage of a New Year
A new year is The passing of time.
An opportunity to redefine your priorities.
An opportunity to redefine your purpose.
An opportunity to redefine your life’s vision.
An opportunity to reestablish worthwhile goals.
An opportunity to bury the past and move into a new future.
The Principles of Time
Time is a blessing or curse, depending on how you manage. Time is life.
Life is Time.
Life is defined as time.
Life is measured in time.
Life is determined by the time.
Life is lived out in time.
Life is qualified by time.
The passing of time is the passing of life.
Life stops when time stops.
Death is life leaving time.
Time is temporary- Life is eternal.
What Is Time?
Time is an interruption in Eternity.
Time is a small measure of Eternity.
Time is a piece of Eternity.
Time is a slice of forever.
Time is the limited period during which an action or process occurs.
Time is the measurement of space.
Time is the passing of existence.
From Eternity into Time
But in the end, does what anyone does really matter? I have looked at what God has given us to do—busy work, mostly. True, God made everything beautiful and in its time.
But he’s left us in the dark, so we can never know what God is up to, whether he’s coming or going. I’ve decided there’s nothing better to do than go ahead and have a good time and get the most out of life. That’s it—eat, drink, and make the most of your work. It’s God’s gift. Ecclesiastes 3:9-13 MSG
The Creation of Time
God spoke: “Lights! Come out! Shine in Heaven’s sky! Separate Day from Night. Mark seasons, days, and years, Lights in Heaven’s sky to give light to Earth.” And there it was. Genesis 1:14-15 MSG
The Purpose of Time
To take you out of Eternity.
To protect you forever.
To measure the existence of life.
To define life.
To measure the quality of life.
To account for your life.
To define the distance between your beginning and end.
To live life in doses.
To measure the purpose of life.
Time Limitations
Mortals have a limited life span.
You’ve already decided how long we’ll live— you set the boundary, and no one can cross it.
So why not give us a break? Ease up!
Even ditch diggers get occasional days off.
For a tree, there is always hope.
Chop it down, and it still has a chance—its roots can produce fresh sprouts.
Even if its roots are old and gnarled, its stump long dormant,
At the first whiff of water, it comes to life, buds, and grows like a sapling.
But people? They die and stay dead.
They breathe their last, and that’s it.
Like lakes and rivers that have dried up, parched reminders of what once was,
So, mortals lie down and never get up or wake up again.
Why don’t you just bury me alive and get me out of the way until your anger cools?
But don’t leave me there!
Set a date when you’ll see me again.
If we humans die, will we live again? That’s my question.
I keep hoping through these difficult days, waiting for the final change—for resurrection! Job 14:5-14 MSG
What Does It Mean to Maximize Your Time?
Determined Time is Determined, which means feeling strongly that you will do something and will not allow anyone or anything to stop you.
Maximizing Your Days
Tell me, what’s going on, God?
How long do I have to live?
Give me the bad news!
You’ve kept me on short rations.
My life is a string too short to be saved.
Oh! We’re all puffs of air.
Oh! We’re all shadows in a campfire.
Oh! We’re just spitting in the wind.
We make our pile, and then we leave it. Ps 39:4-6 MSG
Oh! Teach us to live well!
Teach us to live wisely and well!
Come back, God—how long do we have to wait? — and treat your servants kindly for a change.
Surprise us with love at daybreak.
Then we will skip and dance all day long.
Make up for the troubled times with some good times.
We have seen enough evil to last a lifetime.
Let your servants see what you are best at—how you rule and bless your children.
And let the loveliness of our Lord, our God, rest on us, confirming our work.
Oh, yes. Affirm the work that we do! Ps 90:12-17 MSG
Yes, there is a right time and way for everything, even though we unfortunately miss it.
No one indeed knows what is going to happen or when. Who is around to tell us? Ecclesiastes 8:6-7 MSG
The Measure of Time
Time is measured in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, centuries, and millennia.
Time measures life in yesterday, today, and and tomorrow.
Whatever happened in the past separated you from the future.
The Equality Commodity of Time
Time is the only commodity on Earth that is given equally to each human being.
Time is the only commodity every human possesses.
Every human is given the same amount of time every day.
Spending Time
Time is the currency of life.
Every human is given the same amount each day.
Time, like all currency, must be spent.
Time is used to buy life.
You become whatever your time is buying.
Time determines everything.
Time gives you time to change relationships.
Abusing Wasting Time
Just like money…
Time can be stolen.
Time can be abused.
Time can be lost.
Time can be squandered.
Time can be appreciated.
Time can be depreciated.
Time can be devalued.
Time can be revalued.
Time is more important than money. The effects of poor time management can be harmful and dreadful.
Victims Of Time
You can always continue time.
You can never control time.
You can never resist time.
You can never compromise with time.
You can never repossess time.
You can never buy time.
You can always keep the time down.
You can never speed time up.
Until death, you are stuck in time -Victims of time
All you need to do to make time good is manage it.
Measuring Life In Time
All we can remember is that frown on your face.
Is that all we are ever going to get?
We live for seventy years or so (With luck, we might make it to eighty), and what do we have to show for it? Trouble. Ps. 90-10 MSG
How to Maximize Your Time
You can manage time.
You can use time.
You can invest time.
You can convert time.
Time should be used to initiate, create, develop, build, and add value to the life that exists in it.
Use the time to fulfill your divine purpose.
Redeeming Time
Thus, see that you live with honor, purpose, and courage.
Shunning those who tolerate and enable evil.
Not as the unwise but as wise, sensible, intelligent, discerning people, Making the most of your time on Earth.
Recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity.
And using it with wisdom and diligence because the days are filled with evil.
So do not be foolish and thoughtless but understand and firmly grasp the Lord’s will.
Do not drink wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity).
But be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him. Eph 5:11-18 MSG
Redeeming Time Defined
To Deem means To own.
To Redeem means To re-own something.
To redeem time means you must focus a little more on it.
To take ownership and control your time.
To convert into an opportunity to fulfill your purpose.
To design your days to create value in life.
How to Redeem Time
Time like all commodities must be managed.
Time must be protected.
Time must have a focus.
Time must have a purpose.
Time must have a vision.
Time must have measurable results.
Time must have work and value.
