It seems we have lost time.
200 years ago, the fastest we could travel was on horseback.
Then came the car, making us three times faster.
100 years ago, Lindbergh flew from New York to Paris in 33 hours.
30 years ago, the Concorde reduced that time to just 3.5 hours.
Yet today, despite faster cars and planes, we claim to have no time—while in the past, people had plenty. We rush from place to place like madmen, often without even knowing why. Time collapses upon us.
How much time do we really have?
You have so much time—but for what?
You have time to serve God.
You have time to live according to His will and obey Him.
“My times are in Your hands.” (Psalm 31:15)
What Will You Do With Your Years?
If you live to be 70:
Your first 15 years are childhood.
You spend 20 years sleeping.
The last 5 years may bring physical limitations.
That leaves just 30 years for everything else—much of which is spent eating and working.
What is your life? It vanishes like a mist.
Our time is already in God’s hands. He has set the day we will pass from this world—whether by accident, illness, or age.
Rich people cannot buy more minutes.
Science cannot invent extra time.
You cannot save time to spend later.
Where Does Your Time Go?
How much do you dedicate to the Lord—to contemplation or meditation?
Are you truly committed to Him?
Instead of running frantically from task to task or scrolling mindlessly on social media, pause. Distraction and stress will never bring happiness.
We are enslaved by time, frustrated as we rush from one thing to the next, always feeling behind.
Don’t you see? Without peace in our minds and faith in our hearts, life is futile.
And that peace and faith come only from God.
You could donate all your wealth to the poor or build grand temples, churches, or mosques—yet still lack true peace. (As Bodhidharma proved to the king.)
Daily meditation and contemplation on the Lord are essential.
God has a unique plan for your life, and following it brings joy. Stray from it, and you’ll never know that peace.
Time can be our tool—or we can become its slaves.
What matters is not the length of your days, but the depth of your life.
Distraction, stress, and empty pursuits waste it.
How often have you asked: “Is this worth the stress and pain?”
Most of the time, it isn’t.
Is time spent in meditation wasted? No—it brings relaxation, peace, and connection with God, which is priceless.
We cannot love without stillness—and God commands us to love one another.
Let love, not stress or social media, dominate your life.
Through meditation, we find that love.
Every day is a battle between good and evil.
Choose God—and you will win.
