What's Real? Part 2: Real Time
REAL TIME
So what is real time for you? If we look at how God measures time, we may actually discover something unusual!
Psalm 90:4, 9b: For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it passes by…We have finished our years like a sigh.
The Bible says a thousand years in God’s sight is like yesterday when it passes by! We live in a sigh!
Reality Check: We are living in a second!!! Seventy years in a lifetime may actually be just 70 seconds or 1 hour and 10 minutes in God’s sight!!! That’s not a very long time, is it?
So what are we doing with our 1 hour and 10 minutes?
I know of a fifteen-year-old who spent his time on earth wisely. Fifteen years is perhaps only 15 seconds in God’s sight, but Roy Pontoh spent 15 seconds in the most inspiring way. Roy is a young Indonesian killed for his faith in Christ. He lived in a place where Christians are a minority. Witnesses said that Roy’s killers asked him several times who he was and he constantly replied, “I am a soldier of Christ.” Each tikme he answered, they struck him with a machete until he died. Roy fulfilled his purpose—to be a good soldier and witness for his Lord Jesus.
Are you spending real time on earth? Are you counting your days in view of eternity or in view of today’s fashion trends? How much time in a day do you spend with God? I wrote about Roy Pontoh’s story in this book Real Time: Devotions for the Filipino Youth. Try to get a copy of this devotional and read how you can make your time count for eternity.
