Clocks?

When Daylights Saving Time arrives at our side of the planet, it disturbs our internal clock. Personally if it was up to me, I would like just one thing that stays the same and that would be our clocks. You can change most anything you want as far as I’m concerned but don’t mess with the clock. Yes, the sun goes down sooner and it comes up later but, that’s okay as far as I’m concerned. I lived in Saskatchewan when they didn’t change it ever. And with twenty five or so clocks to reset, it takes time…twice a year.

I read in the bible where, at one point in time the sun stood still for a battle that was raging. Just so you know, McMaster planetarium found it and proved it was real. But, it hasn’t happened ever again. Almost all of us in this life want at least one thing to be constant, never changing. Technology won’t give it. Congestion on our roads won’t produce it. The clothes we wear change faster that we can afford. Unless you’re old like me and wear things out before getting new clothes. So, what constant do we have left?

Time is unchangeable. Other than the one hour change twice a year we get the same amount of seconds every year. There is the time to get up, go to work or school, times to eat, and the best ones of all, the time to lie down and go to sleep once more. But where they are in our day may  change as life changes.  I met with a family last evening that are on the edge of change. They are waiting for that moment of time as their elderly mom will no longer be there for them as she has been for over ninety years. Life will change for them in that moment she leaves this world and travels home to Christ. And there it is, that one never changing part of life, Jesus Christ. As the verse reads, “Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever”. It’s a great verse to memorize and repeat every time we look at our watches.

Something to think about.
