However, the concept of time and its divisions is a recurring theme throughout the biblical narrative. The Bible often emphasizes the importance of time management, the brevity of life, and the need for vigilance and readiness. Time in the Bible The Bible frequently addresses the concept of time, urging believers to be mindful of how they use it. In <a href="/psalms/90-12.htm">Psalm 90:12</a>, Moses prays, "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." This verse underscores the importance of recognizing the limited nature of human life and the need to use time wisely. The Brevity of Life Scripture often compares human life to fleeting moments, emphasizing its transitory nature. <a href="/james/4-14.htm">James 4:14</a> states, "You do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes." This imagery serves as a reminder of the ephemeral nature of earthly existence and the importance of living with an eternal perspective. Vigilance and Readiness The New Testament frequently calls believers to be vigilant and prepared for the return of Christ. In <a href="/matthew/24-42.htm">Matthew 24:42</a>, Jesus instructs, "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come." This call to watchfulness highlights the need for constant readiness, as the exact timing of future events remains unknown. Time Management and Stewardship The Bible encourages believers to be good stewards of their time, using it for God's glory and the advancement of His kingdom. <a href="/ephesians/5-15.htm">Ephesians 5:15-16</a> advises, "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." This passage emphasizes the importance of living wisely and seizing opportunities to do good. Eternal Perspective While the Bible acknowledges the fleeting nature of earthly time, it also points to the eternal nature of God's kingdom. In <a href="/2_peter/3-8.htm">2 Peter 3:8</a>, it is written, "Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." This verse highlights the difference between human and divine perspectives on time, encouraging believers to focus on eternal truths. In summary, while the Bible does not specifically mention "minutes," it provides profound insights into the nature of time, urging believers to live wisely, remain vigilant, and maintain an eternal perspective.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
