Another year has begun

Time is so precious. Yet you can't see it or touch it. You can feel it. I guess you can see it on our faces and our bodies. But you can not see time itself. Movies are made about people going back in time to change things or to learn something from the past. Some go forward in time to see what the future will bring. History is recorded events of what happened in past times.
The Bible covers everything we need to know. It gives record of what happened from the very beginning of time until the very end of time as we will know it and everything in between. It is very good to know that in these turbulent times that we have the Comforter that Jesus promised. God keeps His promises. The Bible, the Word of God, informs us that we will have trials and tribulations. Jesus said that those who believed on Him and asked him to be Lord of their lives he would then send the Holy Ghost. A man named Nicodemus said to Jesus that he knew that Jesus was a teacher that came from God because no man can do those miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus replied Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus said unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:1-21 The time we are given should be used wisely. It is wise to seek the kingdom of God and all Righteousness that all these things will be added unto you. The time has come when we have to make serious choices.
The actor Heath Ledger is a good example of this. We can live for only so long. Eventually are time will end. Most of us believe that Mr Ledger's life was cut short for what ever reason. Did he make wise choices in his life? We don't know but time will tell. Things will come out about his life and we will learn a lot about him. Did he chose Jesus Christ for his Lord and Savior? Did he teach his little daughter about the word of God? I don't know what he did or didn't do but he knows the truth now and he can't take back his decisions. He can't change a thing now. But those of us still here can still make a difference in time by living each day knowing we made the decision to have a personal relationship with Christ. Time is still passing us by everyday. We can catch it and reign it in with the word of God. Look at all the people in history that don't even know that they are a part of what has influenced us. Whether for good or for evil we are influenced by history and influencing history. The Bible is His story. What is yours?
