"Clocky"


Read: Psalm 39


 

 

Lord, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may
know how frail I am. - Psalm 39:4

 

 

A graduate student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology may have helped
solve the problem of oversleeping.  For an industrial design course,
26-year-old Gauri Nanda created "Clocky," a foam covered alarm clock with
wheels, which runs away and hides before you can hit the snooze bar.  The
circuit board instructs small motors to move randomly so the clock ends up
in a new place every day.  Before you can turn it off, you have to get out
of bed and find it.

 

We say that "time flies," but a wise person observed that "time stays and we
fly."  Whether we rise early or stay in bed, we are being carried along by
mysterious force called time.

 

Each day and a fresh awareness of life's brevity can encourage our trust in
God.  The psalmist wrote: "Lord, make me to know my end, and what is the
measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am...  Certainly every man
at his best state is but vapor....  And now, Lord, what do I wait for?  My
hope is in you" (Psalm 39:4-5, 7).

 

What do we need to accomplish today? Perhaps we need to begin an essential
task, address a lingering issue, or work to restore a valuable relationship
before we fall asleep and need to be awakened again.

 

Life is short, but our God is strong-David McCasland

 

If time could be our servant,

Our days would be a sublime;

But if we failed to master it,

We're only "serving time."- Hess
