Stream of consciousness...no edit.
An interesting passage stuck in the middle of Paul's letter to the Galatians. Without doing any study but only applying this statement to my own life and my struggles with the man-made elements of time- the stress and strain that the preciseness of the clock and the expectations surrounding this as almost god-like - has made me pause. We all have a tendency to count the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, seasons and years, marking time for a variety of reasons. We mark days, tragic and heroic, unique and common, and acknowledge them in a variety of ways. For some single days we take whole months and add it on to stretch it out which adds stress and fatigue. I have observed that for many, no matter what season we are blessed be in at the time, we are already desiring to move on to the next one and rush away without pause or thankfulness in our hearts. Too often we are anticipating a mark on the clock or the calendar that we miss making the most of the moment. And most times, when that mark has passed, we feel unfulfilled and even empty because we had put so much expectation on that moment - almost worshipping it's coming - the 3:05 school bell, the 5:00 work whistle, Saturday morning, birthdays, death days, Christmas Day...
I have been at enmity with the man-made clock all my life and make no excuses why I never seem to be on time. I acknowledge that God put the lights in the sky to mark days, months, seasons and years and these are important. But maybe what Paul is getting at is that when we obsess over these marks on clocks and calendars, we risk our behavior becoming worshipful and those marks becoming idols in our lives. Maybe Paul is calling to us from nearly 2,000 years in the past to tell us to slow down, look around, live the day to the full and never look past the gift of today, or even this hour, but to make the most of now! The future is a hope but also an illusion. Don't look past today. Right now is the gift to be opened and enjoyed. God bless!
Also see Hebrews 3:13-
"But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin."

Amen.
