It’s almost the longest day of the year! But so often it seems there aren’t enough hours in a day. Where does the time go?

We are in fact living far longer than people in past years, and the trend is still increasing. Each year for the last 160 years our average life spans have increased by almost three months per year. UK figures stand at men 75 and women 79.9; but still we don’t seem to have enough time.

Will we ever have enough time to do all we want? I’m afraid not. A specialist stated that “life expectancy may, during the lifetimes of younger people alive today, reach 100 years or even somewhat more. But this is far from eternity.”

As ever, the Bible has advice for us. First we need to understand “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven”. We cannot do everything, - “OKAY – BUT HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WHEN?” King Solomon, a godly and wise man, advises, “In all your ways acknowledge Him (God) and He will direct your paths.”

May this be a month when we commit our days to the Lord, seek His guidance, then do what is truly important and not try to do everything!

God bless you
