When our sun comes up and brings light to a new day, birds singing to give perspective to our own enthusiasm and how we approach the day's events, we can be thankful and hopeful ...or we can look to the glare of the day's events.
If we don't get to work on time ...there may be consequences, and sometimes it is more than just not getting paid for time we were not there. If we don't allow time for the unpredictability of rush hour traffic ...we may find ourselves bumper to bumper within the consequences of that. If we take the bus, and we are not there on time ...we may have to wait some time for another bus.
But, ...and some 'but's can be good, we can also look to the time Jesus went to die on the cross for us. And we can look to the time we accepted that truth, and accepted Him into the heart of our mind.
So, when the sun comes up every morning to begin the day, we can begin by looking to the Son. And if we begin that way, time will not be so much a burden to us.
Yet, procrastination is not such a great way to deal with it either. Ignoring things does not readily lighten the burden. Since most of us don't understand time from the truly desperate aspect of it, we often don't see how time can also be used against us ...by having us believe time does not matter.
God created time. Only God knows the time that really matters. And wasting that time into complacency and inaction is as an effective tool for the enemy to actively keep us busy ...with the wrong things.
