TIME: Quality & Quantity

Time is important. “For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” (James 4:14). If we are to get anything done, we must do it while we have time. How to get everything done? It would help if we made a list of things we want to do, placing the most important at the top.

Having done that, one must decide how much time is to be given to each item? It is easy to give a lot of time to some things, but much more difficult with others. Often people justify giving a little time to some important matters by thinking, it really isn’t how much time you spend, but the “quality of the time.” How many times have busy parents said this in regard to home, children, and worship?

If when you ordered the finest steak, the waiter brought you a large plate with a steak about the size of a cubic inch, what would you think? Would you agree with him when he told you, Sir, it isn’t the quantity that is important, it is the quality? No sir, you would want quality and QUANTITY. Have you ever noticed when people go into one of those places were you can eat all you want for a certain price? Do they pay, then go eat just a small amount of the best they find? No, they often go back for seconds and thirds, people like good food.

The important things in life demand a lot of quality time. How do you define quality time? When we were dating, “Just to be with you” was quality time and we wanted plenty of it. In fact, it was hard to find enough time to be together.

How much time do we devote to important things: True worship, Bible study, prayer, family, work? It takes time, lots of it. Study carefully. - Editor
