24/7

November 9, 2015

Almost everybody I know (including me) often wishes there were more hours in a day.  We would like to do so many things, accomplish many things, with our bodies and minds attuned to working effectively longer.

However, I believe GOD in His infinite wisdom designed the twenty four hours and seven days a week cycle as the best program for human life.

Can we really say that if we had longer hours we would be able to do more?  There are many people who do not seem to be doing much even with the current 24.

It is true that we often reduce the number of hours of sleep per day in order to do more of what we want, but sadly, it is always the body and the health which suffer at the end.

Many people are too greedy and selfish.  They want others to accomplish more for them, without realizing that everyone else is just as hard up and stressed as (if not more than) they are.

If we have done all we can and everything is not yet finished, then it is really meant to be completed another day, and another time.  There is no need to fret over it too much.  Otherwise, our true characters come out, that indeed, we are never good stewards of our own resources and relationships with other people.

Let us just be content with our twenty four-seven.  Indeed, if GOD knew to set the sun and the moon on twelve-hour shifting schedules, and to rest on and bless the Seventh Day, we, who are simply creatures doing our assigned tasks could do no more.
