Time is such a paradox, either going too fast or too slow. We lament how life rushes by too fast as we watch our children grow up much too quickly. We find the years uncomfortably accelerating and leaving some of our goals and dreams a distant blur in the rearview mirror of our lives. Diametrically, time can also creep far too slow as we wait for the focus of our most desperate prayers and deepest desires to manifest. Why does time seem to be my constant enemy? Offensively it sneaks up behind me when I am unprepared. Defensively, it is always out of my reach, slipping over the distant horizon out of my view. How I long to conquer and control this enemy. I yearn to be able to speed time up to reach my goals and slow it down every time I look in the mirror. Then there are those moments when I would love to hit a pause button. Those times that are so perfect, the only thing corrupting the moment is the haunting awareness that it will not last long enough. Why has time become the nemesis of our existence? Time is a gift from a timeless God. The one who has no beginning and no end, decided for some reason that we needed this measuring stick of days, years, and lifetimes. How can we deal with the busyness and unrelenting demands on our time? How can we embrace quality time instead of constantly cramming and multitasking every moment? How can we make time for the things that really matter? The Gift of Time explores these questions and the struggles we face, and encourages us to be faithful stewards of our gift of time. This book works well as a small group study with the goal of exploring and learning together to embrace time for the gift that God intended it to be.
