That is all. Just stop for a while, think about that. This day, is not ours. It is God’s. God made it. It belongs to Him. Just like the thousands of other days in our lives. That can both speak to the day’s beauty, and the day’s responsibility. But it also speaks to who is really in charge – whether we fulfill our responsibility or fail to, whether we appreciate the beauty or not. This day would not exist if the Lord did not make it. We are not the masters of our time, nor our belongings, nor our surroundings, nor the air we breathe. Each day and everything it entails is manufactured by He who is far stronger and greater than us and beyond our understanding.
How do we apply that? Perhaps it can put things into perspective. Help not waste time. Appreciate, be thankful for… everything that is in the day. Acknowledge that our time belongs to Him and seek out His purpose in it. Pray and reflect with thanksgiving. Share joy. Be silent. Make music, make art, make beauty. Give up our belief in our power over our days. It belongs to Him.
