What TIME is it?

What TIME is it? Seems like a simple enough question, but its answer depends on what “time zone” you live in.  Or on how you define TIME: the hour of the day, or the season of life, or the age we live in?

The Bible exhorts you to “make the most of your time” (Eph. 5:16), not to be confused with having the “time of your life.” It means to be mindful that "time is short" and there will be a "time of reckoning."

Did you know there is such a thing as an official “Doomsday Clock?”  It was created by a group of scientists in 1947 to warn of the perils of a nuclear arms race. The potential for a nuclear war determines the time on the Doomsday Clock.  As of January 2012, the Doomsday clock is set at 11:55 p.m.

It occurs to me the scientists have hit on a spiritual law. All men are living on “borrowed time.” “Time waits for no man.” “Time marches on.” When we’re young, we think we have “time on our side,” but when we get older we realize that “time flies,” and we can no longer “take our sweet time,” knowing it will soon be “time to call it a day.” "At one time," Jesus rebuked those who were not able to “discern the times.” (Matt. 16:3).  Would you agee that "it's high time" we all learned how to "tell time."
