Seeing Time As A Teacher
How do you see time, as a measure to keeping up with events or a reminder of existence, or do you see it differently, not just for its tick tocks, the seconds and hours, not just the calendars reminders, can we start seeing time for something else, oh for someone else, can we start seeing time as a teacher. You must agree with me that time teaches. Life teaches generally but time tells the full story. Time teaches, time heals, time reminds, indeed time is way more than the minutes and hours, time is more of a teacher.
You must have learnt a thing or two off time, some personal tutorings as well as from other people experience, remembering some days I've looked forward to a particular time, with so much excitement, So many days I've looked forward too, I've so anticipated a lot of days as though when that day come it would never leave, when it came and now its gone. Slowly I've gotten to realize that it's same time movement each and every single time. Its same tick tock tick tock, and it would go more slowly for anyone, it hasn't lowered its speed for anyone and I don't think it has any intentions of easing down for anyone in the future, its probably the one of the things that can't be bribe, you can't bribe your way into getting enough time, well unless God says so.
With this we seat up, time is not on anyone's side, time doesn't have a thing against you, nor is it nature getting angry with you to steal your time away, it's a well programmed data that's going to keep reading and reading till the end of the earth. We it's best we act with discipline and tolerance, do what we ought to do and quit lazying around. I can remember not doing my assignments on time and hoping that I'll still have enough time to copy it from my friends by morning, only to get there and everyone has submitted, oh couldn't time just do this one thing for me? Eventually no one can lay hold on time.
Like a shadow of life, time is closely associated with life, when you life start, time starts. When life ends time ends, when we say since the beginning of time, we actually mean since the start of the start, cause its closely another way to signify life as far as earth is concerned. Day and night and afternoon to evening are merely supposed to ease our understanding and not be confused, eventually the time choices were fashioned so well that its has become so useful to us and our living. The night comes while we are mostly tired and ready to sleep. The afternoon comes with the sun to shine our paths for the active work, so it all works out well. Truly a wise God we have here.
Time has proven to be one of the most disciplined factors we have on earth, money too is disciplined, but overtime we have seen people get money through crooked means, money surely has a other route, another route people can take to earn more of it, it doesn't matter if the route later leads astray, there is a short cut and people are most likely going to go by it. Yet I wonder where the short cut to buying more time could be, cause a lot of things I'll be needing that for, much more than people needing money, more people would know better to buy themself more time, because time has got it all in it. Infact when you get the money, you'll still be needing enough time to enjoy it.
How many times have you said to yourself, oh I wish I could get enough time, especially during crucial times that's very important to you. For students it could be on the examination day, for workers it could be beating the deadline to submit or project your work. For parents it could be to gather enough before the rent is due, for us, it could be getting to write a good article before we step out of the house. So many things we need time to agree with us upon, but time just keeps relaxing on his swinging chair chanting tick tock tick tock. I just imagine I could someday lay hold on time, so much would change no doubt.
Do you remember your superheros, have you ever wondered what superhero would be more powerful, while others would go for strength and speed, some might go for being invisible, maybe a combination of it all, I still feel controlling time is the best. With that firstly I can go back in time to kill the villain while he or she was still little and powerless. While superman would want to use his laser or his super punch.. I'll simply pause time, then go grab a bite, eat enough and drink then look for a way to kill him, then resume time. Oh if time was a person it would surely be the most powerful being alive, we would be lucky if he used it for good.
Luckily for us, time isn't fully a person but it resides in the hands of the greatest there is and would ever be. The singular control of time is enough to worship him forever. Oh he doesn't just control the general time, he also control our individual time, however being the good God he is, he's so lenient with our time and doesn't meddle much, he simply start our time via birth and end our time via death, the rest of the agendas are fully up to us to do at well. I mean it could be night time with everyone sleeping and you decide to watch a movie, he wouldn't stop you to say, and force your eyes to close. As you lay your bed, it's so you would lie on it.
Do you wonder if God has ever paused the time on us, everything seems to be working perfectly, I wonder maybe he repairs it whenever he feels it's going bad, he just pauses it to repair it, and yet we wouldn't know, how would we know, we would feel like nothing strange happens. Truly our God being the holder of time is surely doing a good work with it, I don't think anyone else can do the job. Though I wouldn't mind taking control of time even for a day, maybe I'll rob a bank or manipulate a lotto, maybe get a expense paid Visa to travel the world, or make the president my friend.
However time is no man's friend, so get up and work, be discipline cause time on itself is very disciplined, so you can match with and meet up with time. It's never waiting, never resting, it's always tick tock, tick tock.
