Did you know that the word “time” is used in the King James scriptures 599 times? If you add the plural form “times” this increases the total by an additional 145 words, for a total of 744 times. When you consider many of the words that relate to major Christian doctrines, such as death, baptism, second advent, etc.
the word “time” is used as often in scripture as these words.
It would seem that “time” is very important to God. This is the one gift that
He gave to the human race that all have an equal share in. Here are some
Biblical texts that counsel us about how to become
stewards of our time.
sow righteousness and to reap mercy. It’s time for you to break up the unplowed ground of your hearts and seek the Lord until I come and rain my righteousness upon you.” [Hosea 10:12 TCW]
truth and teach me; thou art God my salvation. For thee I have waited all the day long, for the coming of thy goodness, Lord.” [Psalm
25:5
NEV]
Appeal text: “There
is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.” [Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV]
