“My times are in Thy hand.” Psalm 31:15

God’s greatest gift to you is Jesus. His second greatest gift is

time. Every second we have life is a gift from God.

Has it ever occurred to you that for you to cease living,

God would not have to take your life? All God would have

to do is stop giving you life.

Your time is in His hands. You are a steward of the time He

has given you. We have 86,000 seconds in the day no more,

no less. The difference is stewardship.

Today is check-up day. How are you redeeming your

86,000 seconds each day to the glory of God? Are you

lagging behind God or running ahead of Him?

Adrian Rogers
