Centuries before the invention of wall clocks, wristwatches, or mobile phones, people still felt the relentless march of time—but they measured it differently. One of the most fascinating tools of the ancient world was the water clock, used as far back as Babylon in the 16th century B.C. and perfected by the Greeks.
The device was simple yet profound: a clay or bronze bowl filled with water that dripped steadily from a spout at the bottom. The inside of the vessel was etched with careful markings. As the water trickled away, each drop represented moments slipping into eternity, never to be recovered. By simply glancing at the lowering water level, people could measure how much time had passed—even in the dark of night or under cloudy skies when sundials failed.
But beyond its practical use, the water clock was a silent preacher. Every drop whispered: “Time is moving. Use it wisely.” Just as the bowl could never refill itself without deliberate effort, so too the hours of our lives drain away, never to return.
If ancient people were so conscious of time , how much more should we, as end-times saints be sensitive concerning our current times and seasons.
In these last days, we must use our time on earth judiciously, focusing on the race before us and the accomplishment of 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.
As the end of the age quickly approaches, we must use the little time that is left wisely. Eternity is counting. You may delay, but time won’t. 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 which is the very bedrock of our existence. Time spent with God helps us to focus rightly on the necessary things that need to be done. It is while in God’s presence that we receive specific instructions on what to do. And His instructions lead to our distinction in life.
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 bless the Lord at all times (Psalm 34:1).
Through living with gratitude , we place our lives and times in God’s Hand. And what we commit into God’s hands He is able to keep.(2 Timothy 1:12).
When we are thankful and bless The Lord continually at all times, He sees to it that our time on earth is used to His glory.
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.
