Eight Hours

During our daily schedule we have a total of 24 hours. We have eight hours of work. We have eight hours to sleep. And we have eight hours to eat and enjoy ourselves in whatever way we choose. If we run out of time, there's always tomorrow.

When we're young, we have all the time in the world to do what we want to do. Then all of a sudden the eight hours we are awake seem to go by faster than we want them to. No matter how much planning we do, it seems like we will never get caught up.

In the book of Ecclesiastes Solomon reminds us that there is a time for every purpose under heaven. He tells us that there is a time for us to be born and a time for us to die. The most important time, however, is to take the time to accept Christ as your Saviour and Lord and it doesn't take eight hours to do it. In fact, we are told that now is the accepted time (II Cor 6:2), So don't wait, do it now.
