Devotion of the day: Learn to seek God every day

I think a lot about the weather at the start of a new year. How do I use the time? How do I manage it? Or, well, does time use me and manage me?

I have regrets about my canceled to-do lists and past missed opportunities. I want to get it all done, but I never have enough time to do it. This leaves me with only two options.

1. I must be infinite. I have to be better than the best superhero, able to do it all, be anywhere and get it all done. Since this is impossible, the best choice is. . .

2. I let Jesus be infinite. It is everywhere and on everything. It is eternal. But it became finished! Limited. Subject to time control.

Time held Jesus in Mary's womb for about nine months. Time began puberty. Time called him to Jerusalem, where he suffered, died and then rose again.

As we strive to be infinite but cannot, He who is infinite has become finite, limited, a time servant. Because? This Bible verse says it all: "But when the appointed time was fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law" (Galatians 4: 4, 5).

Jesus took time to redeem us. We who are finite do not need to become infinite because Jesus, who is infinite, has become finite to save us, to forgive us and to set us free.
