Before the invention of clocks and modern time-keeping devices, people in ancient times had to rely on the natural world around them to keep track of the time. One of those early ways of measuring time was the use of the water clock. The water clock dates back to the 16th century B.C. in Babylon and was used by the Greeks.
It is one of the earliest forms of timekeeping devices that used a steady flow of water to track time. With this device, a large bowl would be filled with water and allowed to slowly drain from a spout at the bottom. The inside of the bowl was marked with time intervals.
This enabled people to determine how much time had passed by the water level in the bowl. Water clocks were largely used to determine the hours especially at night times and on cloudy days. As the water trickled away in the water clock, it represented how time was flowing away never to be recaptured again.
To make most of our life on earth, we must be very conscious of our usage of time. Each day, God entrusts us with 24 hours to use as wise stewards. Every morning we are credited with 86,400 seconds to invest to good purpose. Each day it opens a new account and if we fail to use the day’s deposits well, life may end in regret. We must use our time on earth judiciously, constantly focusing on what God has called us to do.
Psalm 90:12-17 says ‘So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
In these last days, it has become crucial that we use the little time that is left wisely. Eternity is counting. You may delay, but time won’t. We must therefore ensure that the things we do in these last days have eternal value. What we do now for the Kingdom of God is what will matter most in eternity.
Top on the priority of our time investment is our relationship with God and the preaching of the Gospel. In these end-times, we must be deliberate in redeeming time because the enemy has sent out many weapons of mass distraction to squander people’s time. Ephesians 5:16 says “redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”
One certain way to redeem time is to be thankful. David said in Psalm 34:1 ‘I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.’ When we bless The Lord at all times, we are placing our life and times in His hand. Certainly when God is in control, He causes everything to work together for our good.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to begin to make good use of my time. Let Your praise and obedience to Your instructions be always top priority for me in Jesus’ Name.
