“Our Time And Our Life Season”
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:”. ~ Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV
“Time and tide wait for no man.” This proverb arose in the fourteenth century. Tide suggests the rising and falling of the ocean’s tides. But in early English tide referred to seasons or periods of time, think yuletide referring to Christmas. So the proverb might best be defined for us to understood as “Time and seasons wait for no human.”
The point of this proverb is obvious: Time is an unrelenting reality that cannot be stopped, delayed, reversed, lengthened, or shortened. As you are reading this mornings devotional, the clock of your life is ticking. You are closer to the completion of your time on earth at this moment than you were when you woke up this morning. So when the apostle Paul wrote, “[Redeem] the time,” he was conscious of the precious nature of time. We should take advantage of every second, hour, day, month, and year and treat them as our precious gifts from our Heavenly Father, Creator, God. We should use our time wisely, knowing we will never get back time that has passed. So we must “Prayerfully” consider how we can best use the 2026 year. Once passed, it can never be replaced.
“If you die wrong the first time, you cannot come back to die better a second time.”
~ Robert Murray M’Cheyne
“He said: “I am going to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath, because the vision concerns the appointed time of the end.”
~ Daniel 8:19 NIV
