Time Passing Quickly - January 8, 2008

Good Tuesday morning to you! We seem to have missed out on the snow this time, but more is on the way. Today begins my final eleven weeks of school, and that is a view to the end that is not so unimaginably long, a season of school. Time seems to bend and flex each day, week, minute, or year. From one side it appears to be very long, but looking back to the past, time appears very short and to run by very quickly. However, the distant past again seems different from our past. Ours is very quick, the distant past is very long, a span that is unimaginable to us. Time might seem slower through some periods of the past and faster at others. Our lives contain those same periods, and yet every day is the same length. A person might take a notebook and try to track and plan that time; this may help them to have a sense of control. However, that time still passes and whether that person is more effective or not, the time is still gone quickly. During a time of great stress or danger, the time may seem to slow down, but in fact that time is still going by in a rush.

Time may seem to mock our efforts, but we know that God is in control of all things. Time does not pass our God by, nor does it slip up on Him. A new year may stretch out before us like infinity, but God knows every moment of it. God knows the moment of Jesus' return, and the moment when the next conception will occur. He knows the starting and ending time of the next great war, even if that next war is held at Armageddon. And most importantly, God knows the moment that each of us will arrive in Heaven. Trust in God, our Lord for all time and who is sovereign. Let Heaven and Nature sing!

May your joy be complete this great day of the Lord!
