Do not forget to change your clock this weekend! A reminder again that we are falling back into the winter months. Clocks are an important part of my life. We have many of them in our home. The ticking of a clock has a calming effect and the sound of it every hour brings back memories. I am also a person who likes to be on time for appointments, or maybe even early.

Our life is also like a clock. It ticks away the days and years of our life. Some days, it will bring excitement and happiness. Other days, a clock of a loved one might slow down or even stop and cannot be wound again. It brings sorrow and despair.

However, we have no control over the clock of life, except to be willing to accept the time of life our Lord and Saviour, our Creator, gives us.

David tells us in Psalm 31:14 and 15 that he trusts in the Lord and he states “My times are in your hands.” God is in control of the clock of our life.
