[A]ll is as one day with God, and time only is measured unto men.
Time is one of God's greatest gifts to man. One of the most important reasons we're on Earth is to learn to manage our time wisely.
As of yesterday I've been on my mission for exactly a year. I've reflected lately on my experiences with time as a missionary. It's unbelievable how quickly time flies by when you're in the service of the Lord. It's often hard to consider that this precious time can never be recalled. I must—and you must—make the most of every moment, because there is no way to take back time once it's gone.
What is more valuable than time? Not much, really. Not money. Not power. Not prestige. In the end those things matter very little. I suppose the thing we'll each want most at the end of our lives is more time. But unlike many modern comforts, conveniences and commodities, time cannot be purchased at any price.
The way we use our time in this life determines how we spend eternity. With that in mind, don't our priorities become much clearer? Aren't there many things that now seem pretty unimportant? And aren't there a handful of things—family, education, service and friends, for example—that we can instantly identify as mattering most?
How do you make the best use of your time? What is something you will start doing today to preserve your precious time for the things that matter most?
