It's July 6th, two days after July 4th (duh!) and I'm sitting here analyzing how I spent my weekend. The reason for such an analysis? Well, it was a three-day weekend since my office was closed on Friday in recognition of Independence Day. So I thought maybe I should sit here and think about how I spent (and spend) my time; wisely or not? Someone once told me that after the age of 20, time will fly! Ever since I 'rolled' over that hill, I'd say I completely agree with whoever that was. See, it seems like it was so long ago I cant even remember who it was.Take a moment and think how long ago you celebrated the New Year. Would you agree that it seems like it was just yesterday? For me it does. And it seems like this upcoming New Year is nearing so quickly that we might as well start preparing for it now. Well, now try to imagine this: the time you lived between last summer and this summer went by so quickly... how many more of these short years do you have to live? 60? 40? 15? Maybe 0.5? We don't know. Even if it's 60 years, time will fly by so quickly, you won't even realize it. And this brings me to my reason for posting.
Sometimes God wants us to stop and think; to think about where we are headed. And that is what I am doing today. Out of my entire weekend, my most precious moments were those spent with God in prayer and reading of His word. Those were the most useful minutes/hours of my weekend. All else? Vanity.
My friend, use your time wisely.
Andrey, you have have once again "hit the nail on the head". We are too often overwhelmed by the rapidly increasing pace of our life and absorbed by the minor stubble blocks on our path that we lose track of what's really important - making the most of our time by spending it with God.
