It is very interesting to talk about time, brother. I am particularly drawn to the saying, “A priceless grain of sand of time is worth more than a mountain of gold.” Indeed, the time that God has given us is far more valuable than a mountain of gold. As someone once said, time is money, but money is not time. We cannot buy time with money, but with time, we can acquire money. And one thing we should always remember is that we can count how much money we have left, but we cannot count how much time God has left for us.

There are two Greek terms that are translated as “time”: chronos and kairos. Chronos refers to time in the chronological sense. Everyone makes use of the chronos that God has given them. However, kairos refers to the opportunities that God provides within the framework of chronos. Not everyone is able to recognize the kairos that God places before them. That is why Paul exhorts us to “redeem” the kairos (Colossians 4:5). If, by His grace, we are able to redeem or make the most of the kairos that God gives us, then we are truly making the best use of our time.

May we continually recognize every kairos that God grants us in our lives, so that we will not regret the chronos that has passed. May we always follow the Lamb wherever He goes, and in doing so, may we faithfully redeem every kairos He places before us.
