One of the most valuable things we have is time. Every day we each have the same amount of it - 24 hours. We take it for granted and yet marvel at how quickly it goes by. When we are young, it seems to go slowly and when we grow older, it seems to fly. Why is time so important? Because we don’t know how much more we have left. Who can tell if we will live another day? Friends that we grew up with are no longer alive. They certainly didn’t plan to die so young, but they did. That is why God wants us to make our most important decisions while we are young. Where will we spend eternity? This question can be settled early in life by confessing to the Lord Jesus that we are a sinner and receiving Him as our personal Saviour. We give priority to matters of importance and leave other things that don’t matter for later. The Bible tells us of decisions that should be taken care of immediately because we might not be here tomorrow. How foolish it is to waste our time on things of little value and leave the most important things for last. Our time on earth is very short, but eternity is so long that it cannot be measured. Be sure that you are ready for eternity while you still have time.
