Ever Onwards,
Thanks, Evan.
This message is timely (no pun intended) for me. I do tend to “watch the clock” in the sense that I seem lately to be struggling with “time” and feeling frustrated at not “getting things done,” staying up too late at night, then having to sleep later in the morning, thereby missing out on those sweet early morning productive hours. I seem to be getting stuck in a false belief that “time” or a seeming lack of time management can control me and my day and diminish my Joy. But my day is not my day, it’s God’s day and I can pray to see this more clearly and let go of the need to control. Let God lead my day. God, your day, your way.

Much Love to you dear Rose!! ❤️
Y ess, it’s God’s day and God’s way leading you very safely – and all of us, too.♡
Thanks for the support dear Uta, appreciate it!
We live in eternity. Time is only a man made means of keeping track of his activities and obligations.
Thank you Helen – that is a very useful thing to understand.
From Revelation 10:5, 6 we read:-
“And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: ”
Without the belief of a material false law that we
are limited by time, we have the ability to achieve
all we need to achieve without stress.
I love Hymn 136 this is verse 3:-
I climb, with joy, the heights of Mind, / To soar o’er time and space; / I yet shall know as I am known / And see Thee face to face. / Till time and space and fear are naught / My quest shall never cease, / Thy presence ever goes with me / And Thou dost give me peace.
In physical science time & space have been discovered to be 2 sides of the same coin. Time is physical. Plus the faster we physically travel, the more time slows down……makes you think doesn’t it?!?!?
My prayer has been to give myself the gift of living in the present with my hand in divine Love’s. Being in the moment with God, He/She orders my days. Then I find peace.
Thank you , Diane, for your helpful, loving comment!

I love the message on time today. Thanks All! Years ago I had a little hamster
that the graphic today reminded me of. When he was on his hamster wheel,
he would be going and going, running and running, but never get anywhere …
kind of like how we seem to be stuck sometimes in mortal ways of thinking.
He used to love to go in his “Liberty ball” – a clear, plastic ball with air holes
designed for him to actually run around and get somewhere. As little as he was,
he knew that in order to get over a threshold obstacle, he had to keep getting the
momentum (spiritual awareness) and would keep trying, by going back further
and further (digging into the Truth) until he was able to navigate and triumph
over the speed bump to his progress. It was amazing, really, to see this
One Mind in “action”. But it is truly divinely natural to be free of mortal limitations
and move in accord with Love and purpose.
Angel your mention of your hamster on the wheel made me think of something I heard on the Sentinel audio chat that was kindly shared yesterday on SV, on Active Living in Advancing Years.
“Rushing around smartly is no proof of accomplishing much.” (Misc Writings p. 230- Improving Your Time).
Related to my earlier comment on struggling with time management, I see I need to get very quiet and discover if my activity is actually productive and God inspired or just busyness.

Brilliant find, J. Thank you. Most inspiring article! ♥️
Dear Rose,
The only thing you/me/we struggle with or suffer from, is ego.
