Time

 Just this past Sunday, we set our clocks forward one hour.  All of this to accommodate for Daylight Savings Time.  I think we can all agree that the fall change is far better - gaining an hour of sleep instead of losing one.  To be perfectly honest, my wife did all of the remembering this year and set our clocks accordingly.  As I reflected in the days after the time change, I wondered when we move the clocks forward and backward if we do not somehow contribute to an illusion that time is within our control?  After all, we really like control, and we like to think that we have control.  But time is one of those things that remind us of our dependent, created reality.  

I cannot stop time.  

I cannot slow time.

I cannot speed time.

I cannot change time.

I cannot move time.

And I cannot do these things for something that like me is a created reality.  Time did not exist before God created it.  And time will not exist when God is finished doing His perfect work.  Time, and the changing of the times, should remind me that I am totally dependent on the God who made me.  Praise be to God.
