What is Time?

How do I view time? Where is my perspective? How do I value or measure it?

Someone once wrote that time is like credit in the bank ... blah blah blah...remember that story?
Everyday, this bank account of yours get an automatic credit of 24hrs X 60min X 60sec = $86,400 worth of seconds...I will go find that article and put it up here later.

Another of my friend believe that life is short and time is precious. So she frantically try to live it to the fullest.

So where is my perspective as far as time is concern?
Fleeting? Brief? Lost? Stolen? Precious? Irreplaceable? Short? Money? Limited?

Throughout centuries and generations, philosophers, scientists, kings and ordinary folks have written, discussed and studied this illusive concept and construct call time.
But what does the Creator and Master of all time and space and eternity has to say about it?
Where is God in this equation of time?

Of course if you believe in this God that I know, time is of no issue to Him, only to us, mere mortals. I personally believe that even with modern medical breakthrough, human livespan can only be calibrated around 75-85 years. Beyond these boundaries lies disabilities and despair, weakness and worries, limitations and liabilities. In fact, I may believe that men can add years to their life but not life to their years. So why seek extension of life, medically and artificially?

According to a Christian bookmark I have, Time is defined as:

"A limited resources extended only by giving the first part back to God".

"Honour the Lord ... with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty... "
- Proverbs 3:9-10

I believe time is given to us as a valuable platform to enjoy doing His will. A dimension that can be altered by offering it back to God who is in charge.

May I find my time here on earth extended and expanded for His will and glory.
