So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

How fast time flies. From the days to the weeks, from the months to the years, as if they just take a wink of an eye. It seems like just yesterday that I studied in a college in Bandung. I still remember the spirit of the campus, my alma maters, and the lecturers. And that was just more than 6 years ago. It seems like yesterday that Rio, my cousin, played with me and my brothers and sisters at home. Yet today I learn that he is about to be one of the students in Faculty of Law in Indonesia University. It happened in the wink of an eye.

And so did Moses. In the psalm he said, “For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night. You carry them away like a flood; they are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up: in the morning it flourishes and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers” ([bible]psalm90:4-6[/bible]). Yes, our time in this is so short and goes very quickly.

Therefore, let us do these three things during time we have. First, do not procrastinate what we can do now—serving God, working for other people, and showing love to the closest people. Because there will come a time when we do not have any opportunity to do those things anymore.

Second, do not waste time for useless and harmful things because it is no use to regret in the future. Third, enjoy and appreciate the present because there will be a time when the “present” becomes the “past”. –AYA

 

Never replace time with an unworthy thing because when it passes by, it cannot be repeated.
