What does Adolf Hitler, Judy Garland, George Washington, St. Peter, and Jimmy Hendrix all have in common? Give up? Answer: they are all dead. And what's more is you and I will follow them. That is the one guarantee we can bank on. 
Day light saving time is here again. Can we really save time? Of course not, but how about we focus on saving souls because we're running out of time.  Life is a vapour; it's here today and gone tomorrow.  Paul in Ephesians 5:16 beseeches us to make the best use of our time because the days are evil. The days are not the only things that are evil;  humanity is as well. 
Mankind is in need of salvation.  Awake, o sleeper. Call on the Lord and be saved. Pray for repentance and faith to believe in Christ as He is offered in the gospel. May our great and glorious God change your heart to the praise of His grace. If you are already saved, then use your time to honor and glorify Him. Do all things for Him. Be mindful of time. We cannot get it back. Once it is gone it's gone. Further, one day we'll wake up in eternity and time will never run out. But, will you spend eternity with Christ or in hell under His righteous wrath? Remember, use your time wisely. There is a time for everything.  A time to live and die. A time to worship or idolize. A time to glorify God or to serve self. A time to love God or love sin. And, time is being spent in preparing for eternity.  Where will you spend it? Live like your dying. Actually we are! So in dying live. Live for Him.
