The Bullet of Time: Enough Time (Part 2)

The profound truth for all of us to realize is that God has given us all the time we need to do all we were created to do. Twenty-four hours is enough for any man, woman or child. College students often complain to me about how little time they have. The truth is that they have more free time in college then they’ll ever have in their life! The person who says, “I’m behind” or “I don’t have enough time” or "I’m frantically trying to catch up” is admitting he is occupied with areas God never intended him to be concerned with. Jesus Christ had plenty of time to do all the Father sent Him to do. He was never in a hurry. He was always “on schedule.” He never allowed second-rate activities to pull Him away for first-rate priorities. Thomas Fuller said, “Time misspent is not lived but lost!” A person doesn’t “find time” for anything; he must dedicate it.

Time cannot be expanded, accumulated, mortgaged, hastened or retarded. It is the one thing completely beyond man’s control. The only way man can escape enslavement to time is to make time his servant. The God who made time is the only adequate source to this discovery. When Jesus Christ said, “My time is at hand,” He indicated He held the key to the mystery and power of time. I hope you’ll “take time” to check Him out!
