Sunday Stars
3rd January 2020
Happy New Year.
January is the first month of 2021 and we have 12 new months, or 52 weeks or 365 days to do great things. Lots of time to make an impact on the world God created for us. What will you do this year?
This is a great Bible verse for a new year starting:
‘But I trust in you, Lord; I say, You are my God. My times are in your hands.’ (Psalm 31: 14-15)
Have you heard people say , ‘We don’t have time for that’ or perhaps you have been told by your parents to “Get that done before bed time!’ It can be tricky sometimes getting all our activities crammed into a single day. Time sometimes passes so quickly and we just haven’t time to finish what we intended to do at the start of the day. So more jobs for the next day but the next day is already jam packed and so it goes on until there is a back log of unfinished tasks waiting to be completed.
What do you use to help you keep track of the time.?
I have a calendar on my wall and it helps me remember important dates eg birthdays of friends and family but it is not really useful for keeping me on track each day.
A watch can show us both the date and the time and be a useful aid each day.
A mobile phone has a calendar, clock and a timer – and is also good for phoning and texting!
Many more devices for helping us tell the time are around us – alarm clocks, school bells, clocks on computes, Ipads, cooker and microwave too.
Time is precious. Extra days of the week or more hours in a day can not be obtained and all we can do is to make sure we use our time as wisely as we can. It’s fine to track months, weeks, days, hours and even seconds but in the end we have to trust God. The Bible verse we read at the start of this stated quite clearly it is wise to put all our times in God’s hands and trust that He will keep us safe and on track at all times. Whatever 2021 brings us we know we can trust in God and what a comfort that is to each of us.
Prayer
God thank you for keeping us safe in 2020 and as we look forward in faith to 2021 help us to use the time given to us wisely and help us try to be better time managers. We ask You to help us live for You in the next 12 months and are comforted by knowing You guide us each day. Amen.
