Not the Time to Quit

by PamFord Davis  
3/02/2022 / Devotionals

I’m old school and remember learning how to tell time.

My kindergarten teacher gave me a paper plate, construction paper, crayons, children’s scissors and a paper brad. She showed me and classmates an example of the finished product.

Turned upside down, paper plates were transformed into clocks. 

We wrote the number 12 at the top of our plates; moving toward our right, we spaced numbers 1-11 around our clocks. Paper brads held our construction paper clock hands securely in place as we moved them to change the hour and minutes. It was child’s play; yet, we couldn’t wind our clocks to keep them running.

It’s difficult for today’s children to understand the concept of winding a clock or wrist watch.

Nearly all timepieces are operated by batteries.

Forgetting to wind clocks in days gone by could lead to big trouble. Running behind, employees clocked in late and faced their angry boss.

Our bodies run much like the old fashioned alarm clocks.

When clocks ran down, they lost time; eventually, they stopped.

God has work for me do; it’s not the time to quit.

Lord, rewind my clock.

“May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal encouragement and good hope by grace,  encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good work and word (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 HCSB).”
