Dahil itong buhay nami’y maikli lang na panahon, itanim sa isip namin upang kami ay dumunong.

Awit 90:12

“Sayang!” Maraming beses na nating narinig ‘yan sa mga kaibigan o kakilala natin, o puwedeng tayo mismo ang nagsasabi nito.

Baka may mga pagkakataon o opportunities tayong pinalampas. Bakit? Dahil sa takot, kawalan ng tiwala sa sarili, o naisip natin na “next time na lang” o “bukas na lang.” Feeling kasi natin na hawak natin ang oras at sigurado tayong darating din ang bukas, yet the truth is tomorrow is not always guaranteed to come.

James 4:13–14 (NIV) reminds us about the uncertainty of tomorrow, “Now listen, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend the year there, carry on business and make money.’ Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.”

What is the value of time? In an attempt to recognize its worth, Dr. Leslie Weatherhead calculated the average length of life using the hours of one day. He said that if your age is 15, the time is 10:25 AM, and if you‘re 30, the time is 1:51 PM. At age 45, the time is 5:15 PM and at 60 years old, the time is 8:42 PM. At 70 years old naman, the time is 11:00 PM. A little more time after that and it‘s over. Kaya kung may gusto tayong gawin, gawin na natin ito ngayon.

We have today to do what God wants us to accomplish. Don‘t be afraid because He will also be with us tomorrow.
