“For the form of this world is passing away.”
(1 Corinthians 7:31 NKJV)
(1 Corinthians 7:31 NKJV)
Time is passing quickly. This has become a stark reality for me.
The company I used to work for is now gone, having been purchased by another company.
My formal work career has passed away.
The house we lived in for years has been sold and is now gone.
When I look in the mirror in the morning, the evidence is increasing that even my body is passing away.
When
you think about it, we are only “renting” or leasing our bodies for a
period of time. We are going to have to turn them in at some point. The
question facing those of us who realize the importance of the brevity of
life is: how should I be spending the time I have left in this world?
Jesus
tells us not to labor for the food that perishes, but for that which
leads to eternal life. This makes me think about how I leverage what is
perishing into the imperishable? How do I leverage the mortal into
immortality? How do I leverage the fading into the unfading? Is there a
way for me to leverage the temporary into the eternal?
I believe the answer to these questions is a resounding “Yes!”

thinkers realize that our loaf of time is being shortened by the slice
each day. We constantly think about how we can leverage the temporary
into the permanency of eternity that becomes reality when the “time
bubble” in which we find ourselves is “popped.”
