Days of Our Lives

Do you remember hearing this phrase in the distance past? Along with these words coming through the tiny speaker of your black and white TV?

I am referring to a TV show which famously begins with an hourglass (often called a sand clock) on screen while a narrator recites the iconic line: "Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives."

Which brings me to a favorite saying of a favorite person, Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island: "One grain of time's inestimable sand is worth a golden mountain."

We all waste time and resources. And we all have regrets. Thus in the end, we must agree with Jesus that we are, in a sense, "unprofitable servants".

When you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, "We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do." Luke 17.

Over to you. What are the words which you live by? Are they Christ-centered words? Will others attest that your sincerity is real?

Let us all "redeem the time" and follow the Lamb, wherever He leads.
