We all have wishes. Some are expressed when the birthday candles are blown out. Some are expressed in the form of New Year's resolutions every January. There is one wish that all of us have expressed over and over. We've all said, "I just wish I had a little more time." Or maybe, "The day is just too short."
Tomorrow night we will all get our wish. It is the day every fall when the clocks are set back one hour, giving us sixty more minutes. How will that extra hour be used? Carl Sandberg said, "Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent." Probably, most of us will waste the extra hour watching TV or sleeping in the next morning.
We are advised in the Bible that we should redeem the time. While the extra hour we will get tomorrow will be taken away from us next spring, the time we have in life is ours to use as we choose. We cannot manufacture extra time. We cannot reclaim the wasted time of the past. But we all are given more time each passing day. Remember, we have only one life which will soon be past. Only what's done for Christ will last. Let's use the gift we all wish for to bring glory to God and grace to others.
