This week's devotions are written by Redeemer member Judith Bird.



Time.

There never seems to be enough … a real puzzlement in this "time" of so many "time-saving" devices. Where does "saved" time go? Who gets to use the saved time?



Time has always intrigued me. Time travel stories have a certain fascination. What if….

Likewise, the "time turner" in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban could be a very useful tool where one can relive an hour or two or three.



A friend once explained that time actually is relative. An hour in the life of a five-year-old is a much larger percentage of his life than it is for a 50-year-old. Time does "fly" as one gets older.



However, in the midst of all the rush, all the hubbub, Ecclesiastes 3 gives its own perspective on time: "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven." This week, we're going to explore what the Bible tells us about time and what that means for our use of it.



Connection: How do you decide how to use the time you have each day?



Prayer: O Lord, help me to remember that you are there - every day, hour, minute, second. Amen.
