Taking time, breaking time, faking time, forsaking time, saving time, making time, conserving time, which of us can exclude time from among our top few priorities in life? It shapes us, defines us and for most it simply controls every thing we do, every emotion we feel, even our pain is controlled by the length or sparsity thereof. How can we ignore time, is that possible, perhaps passing time, sequestered to some hidden cove or mountain retreat, defeats the power of its constriction. But even those moments of relaxation are not beyond its strangling governance. We can’t go back into it to repair mistakes or missteps, we cannot forward and escape from the impacts of present. What then did God develop this limitation, this construct, control that governs all things even the face of evil. For without time freedom would be an unnecessary pursuit.
I am a finite being, not because I have chosen that label or implied self-defined limitation. It is simply the truth. At some point the light, the spirit or for those new age followers that energetic force that powers this lifetime, will cease to influence this body. That is ironic that Life and Time are used in the same descriptor for our existence here as humans, for isn’t time one of the main factors in our life’s equation? When that life leaves this corporal form, since we know that energy is neither created nor destroyed, where does it go? I will not ignore the other question that has been begged by the previous statement, but merely mention, if it wasn’t created then what was it before it was in me? For now we will ponder locas imagenes de las piensas mio. That time is dictated by those moments having been lent each of us to perform those tasks either for self of some voluntary purpose. When it runs out it is redirected to another repository or form. Oh, you agree. I see the arguments reside not in the equation but in the form to which each of our energy either returns of is directed.
Understood, so is time that governing factor that determined where our energy would reside beyond our present iteration? No, then who invented that governing force which controls each of our lives? Is it then a random allotment, given as chaos theory with a pattern inside a supposed menagerie of action? If everything is random or chaotic why does time proceed in orderly fashion, why are there orbiting planets, why do cells adhere and how is matter in fact contained within a medium? Logic may not simply be a passe object to pull out in order to impress women at parties. Like time it is a governing force that requires its consistent implementation. I will assert that time is given us a by a Creator who designed the rules for life when he designed Life itself. And people have a choice as to what to follow or believe, but that choice does not have the potency to redesign the equation but rather to allow us to “lie” to ourselves about the inevitable to somehow provide self cathartic romance upon which we may reside and escape the inevitable coming judgment of a Holy and Righteous God. Like time it is inescapable, outside of our control, even those daunting hands of evil are marking its moments until their power is removed. So will time define your life or the scarcity thereof? Or will you take control of the moments given you to make your mark upon it for the Lord our God?
In Jesus’ Name I pray you use time in its wisest form to the fullness of God’s Purposes for your existence in this segment of our journey to once again live in fellowship with Him.
