Thoughts from a Random Mind

TIME

            Time is a relevant topic. Some think time goes fast, some slow. It depends on what you’re doing. Time at work goes slow. Time on vacation goes lightning fast. I’m turning the BIG 7-0 next year and it boggles my mind … I find myself asking the all too familiar question: “Where did the time go?”

            How we spend our time is equal to what we get accomplished in this life. Lazy folks get little accomplished. Energetic folks get more than their fair share accomplished. What you do with your time tells what is on your heart; what is most important to you. What do you spend quality time doing? Who do you spend it with? Family? Friends? Work? Play? What is it? Are you an under or over achiever? Why? Is it to please yourself or to please others? Do you follow the Golden Rule by treating others the way you’d like to be treated? 

            What’s your take on God? Does He exist? Doesn’t He? Why? If you believe He exists how much time do you spend with Him? Does He feel distant to you? If so, who moved? Does He feel close? Time is an expensive commodity. You can only spend it once. Here today and gone tomorrow. Time keeps on rolling, no matter what the situation. Some think time stops when you die. Is that literally true? Those who don’t buy in to the whole Christian scene may think that is the case. Is there a heaven? Is there a hell? 

            With all the “religions” in the world, why would you think Christianity is the only valid one? How can you prove it? Can You? Proof negates faith and it is faith, combined with belief, that is needed to believe in an unseen God. How can you trust in someone you cannot see? It’s a choice. A free will choice. Believe or don’t believe; it is at your own discretion. 

            Regarding God and the whole of Christianity, no proof is coming. The existence of God cannot be proven, though Christians believe that evidence is all around us in His creation. That is all well and good unless you happen to be an Evolutionist. 

            It all comes down to faith – believing something unseen as if it CAN be seen. The clock keeps ticking and time shall one day be no more. The eternity question will be answered either by action, one way or another, or by ignoring those thoughts that have been presented to you. Someone has to pay the piper. Christ paid for those who believe. For those who do NOT believe, the offer is there. It’s an individual choice that HAS to be made or it will be made for you. God sends NO ONE to hell. Their silence on the issue of God speaks volumes and brings about a self-determination that will lead to regret because that person never considered the seriousness of the issue at hand. Once the final trump sounds it will be too late. Use your time wisely; choose wisely as well for your future destination after death is at stake. Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.

In His Name & for His Glory,
