time, time, time

"time is of the essence"

"for such a time as this"

"time is ticking away"


time is something that always seems to eludes us. no matter how many humans try to figure out time and how it works, no one can seem to get a real grasp on it. tons of movies, shows and books portray people trying to travel in time, both to the past and to the future. always with the goal of a better outcome than the first time around or a glimpse into how things may turn out to reassure us of the present.

but time is never something that we can truly get a hold on. we can never grab it with our two hands (or with any machine or computer) and take control of it. we can't use it to accomplish our own purposes or adjust it to fix our mistakes. time is just time and our life revolves around it.

but there is a huge part of time that is something we can all hold onto. that someone bigger than us DOES have control of it. that something bigger than us can take time into its own bare hands and steer it and guide it exactly how it should be to create the best results.

could i be teasing? does this someone or something really exist?

it does. He does. and that's a fact worth holding onto a lot more than trying to grasp at something like time which slips out of our hands before we can even blink.

i'm inspired by a wonderful story about a young Queen named Esther. her story is surrounded in every direction (before, after, during) by this fact. if we can all get a glimpse of this fact through her life's story, then we would all understand this wonderful cliche:

"timing is everything"


(inspired by the Book of Esther)
