Time More Precious Than Gold and Silver

“Everything has a time to be born and a time to die, a time to gather and a time to scatter” (Ecc 3:1). We must plan our time and budget. Fasting needs time; prayer needs time and it comes from us how we budget our time. Proverbs 3:5 tells us to trust in the Lord and never lean on our own understanding. So if we give enough time to the Lord not to ourselves. God will provide us with time to talk to him. We can pray and pray and pray but we may not get the answers; Why is it?

We need to be connected to God and our prayers will be answered. It is like having a set of musical instruments fixed together but as long as they are unconnected to electricity, no sound will come out.

The issue of time is very important, we cannot ignore it. If a woman is pregnant, she waits nine months to give birth to a mature baby. If we are not patient enough, we risk having a premature baby. Time is vital. You must not procrastinate because procrastination is the thief of time. Time is vital and must be appreciated, whether it is a second or a year:

In Christian life the importance of time must not be overlooked
