Friends,

Daylight savings time comes early this year. "Spring forward" is the term used to remember to set your clocks ahead one hour. Of course later in the year you "fall back" to Eastern Standard Time.

Most of us dread this time of year because in a sense we lose an hour (of sleep) and find ourselves adjusting to the change for the next several weeks. It's hard to find that hour lost especially when our routine doesn't change accordingly. Where does that hour go anyway?

Ephesians 5:15-17 states, "See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is." Redeeming means "To save from a state of sinfulness and its consequences. "

Daylight savings time is not the only time when we lose hours. We waste precious time that we have been given on frivilous activities, mindless thougths, and worthless conversation. Video games, TV and news events keep us occupied for hours on end, turning our minutes into mush.

Let us be wise with our time. Whether we "spring forward" or "fall back" we still have the same amount of time each day. Spend some time planning ways to save time during the daylight because "night is coming when no man can work".

“Mankind does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.”

-Stay Spiritual
