Spring Ahead

We all know that the phrase "spring ahead" refers to moving our clocks one hour ahead for daylight savings time.  Why do we do that?  The purpose for daylight savings time is basically to conserve energy.  By lining up the hours of daylight with the hours most people are up and about, less energy is used for lighting.  Most people also like daylight savings time because it gives them more daylight in the evenings to do their various activities.  It seems that it helps people use their time more profitably.

Time is a very precious commodity.  We should be careful to use it wisely.  Paul exhorted us to "be careful how (we) walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of (our) time, because the days are evil" (Eph. 5:15, 16).

We don't know how much time we will have on this earth.  God expects us to use our time serving and honoring Him.  To do that we need to set biblical priorities for our lives.  We need to make time for Bible study and ministry.  We need to make sure that everything we do, we are doing as unto the Lord.  We need to make sure that we are telling others about Christ.
