The writer of Ecclesiastes (believed to be Solomon) records the words, "there is a time to every purpose under the heaven" (Ecc. 3:1)). One cannot remove themselves from the inevitable. When the time to weep comes, there will be tears. When the time of war comes, there will be death. When the time of purpose comes, the result will be evident.
Time moves along and as the saying goes, "waits for no man." The writer of the Psalm 90:12 (believed to be Moses) says, ". . .teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom." Proverbs 11:30b says, ". . .he that winneth souls is wise."
Many insignificant, cumbering "things" can come into our lives and hinder from being wise in our daily lives. These insignificant "things" crowd us, bully us and busy us into things that remove us from focusing on being wise - winning souls to the Lord.
Moses and Solomon were two well known characters in the Old Testament, yet, there is one that we look to that is greater than these two. Jesus Christ says to us, "Follow me, and I will make you to Fishers of men." (Matthew 4:19) Can there be any greater purpose than this? Can there be anything wiser than this? Can time be utilized for any greater or wiser purpose? What do you think? "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." (Luke 19:10) ". . .a greater than Solomon is here." (Matthew 12:42c) "For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." (John 1:17)
