The teams that will be playing each other on February 7 have gone through a grueling season to reach the Super Bowl.  This year marks the fiftieth year that the Super Bowl has been played.  I enjoy the game and am always anxious to sit down and watch it.  The other day I allowed my thoughts to meander and I figured if each game lasted three hours and I watched all fifty games then I have spent a total of one hundred fifty hours watching football.  That is equivalent of just over six days!!

This all brings me to the subject of time.  There is probably no more precious commodity for the human being than time.  We protect it, we cherish it, we hoard it.  It has to be extremely important as well as beneficial to us personally before we decide to release some time for some project.  Thus, we continue to hear such phrases as “I don’t have the time,” or “my time is too occupied” and etc. when someone determines their time is about to be imposed on.

God created time and how we use it is up to us.  He gives us each a twenty-four hour block of time.  How much of that do you set aside for His purpose?  If we take time for God, our lives will be blessed and we will be much happier.

Mark's Note: Another thought on time: There are 86,400 seconds in every single day. God gives you that many chances daily to decide something you might be doing is not in your best interest, and decide to change. Need more time? OK, take a whole MINUTE - He gives us 1,440 of them every day. Think it over... :-)
