Time is More Valuable Than Money

If you have 5 minutes and you waste it; you will never get it back. Time moves on. It stops for nobody. It does not play favorites. It runs on, and we run out of it. This does not mean we need to be in a hurry all of the time. It means we need not be wasting time. Do relaxing, taking a nap, reading a book, going for a walk, thinking, and other activities that do not necessarily produce a visible result constitute a wasting of time? No. However, an excess amount of relaxing is detrimental to a person's mental, physical and spiritual health. Particularly if a person has developed a value system in his life that appreciates the fact that the time that we have to spend here on this earth as living human beings is a gift from God. To make a point, "The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof, the world, and they that dwell their in". The scripture from the book of Psalms tells us that all of the riches of the earth belong to God. Did He not make them? They are tangible and obtainable. He will give those riches to whomever He pleases, particularly to those who do not waste time. Riches are always around, somewhere, but time and good timing flee like a fast bird.
