Our
culture is inundated with time management tools: from daytimers to seminars on
how to save, spend, invest, maximize, and catch time before it flies away!
What
if time was not the fleeting, tyrannizing resource we are taught to believe it
is? What if we chose instead to view
time as an expression of God? God's
speed. God's gift to us. A part of His very nature. Would we so anxiously live by deadlines, join
the morning rat race, or grab a minute and run with it?
Wouldn't we, instead, be moved to rethink and perhaps
reshape the way we use time? Perhaps our
goal would be stewardship rather than management. As stewards we might be more open to the
purposes set down by the Chief Steward -- to give and receive, to serve and be
served, to work and to rest without feeling busy or lazy.
