The Power of Time

by Andrew Murray

My times are in Thy Hand.”
Psalm 31:15 (KJV)

My time is in Your hand.  It belongs to You.  You alone have a right to command it. I yield it wholly and gladly to Your disposal.”  What mighty power time can exert if wholly given up to God!

Time is lord of all things.  The history of the world is proof of how, slowly but surely, time has made man what he is today.  All around us we see the proofs, such as the growth of a child to manhood.  It is under the law of time and its inconceivable power that we spend our lives.

This is especially true in communion with God – all on the one condition: that we have sufficient time with God.  Yet we often confess the weakness of our spiritual life and the inadequate results of our work.  This is due to the failure to take time for daily communion with God.

What can be the cause of this sad confession?  Nothing less than lack of faith in the God-given assurance that time spent alone with Him will indeed bring into our lives the power to do His work.

Through prayer, submit your timetable to the inspection of Christ and the Holy Spirit.  A new life will be yours if you fully believe and put into daily practice the word: “My time is in Your hand.

    Thank you for this thought for the day: The Power of Time. “My time is in Your hand. It belongs to You.” These words mean Life to me. God bless you.

  2. Time is good for all things that happens around the world; time to be born, time to grow, time to know things. I thank GOD to give me time to repent of my sins.

    I thought I read somewhere that it is JESUS who is lord of all? Was I wrong?
