Rolling Back Time...

Rolling the clock back one hour every Fall is something that I always look forward to. That one hour just seems to be so special, a gift that adds to the crisp newness that the cooler weather always brings with it. If one hour feels that good, I wonder what days, weeks, or years would feel like. What if you could roll back time to last week before the argument with your spouse and live the week over? What about 5 years, before you left the job you've regretted leaving ever since? Most all of us would love the chance to get a "re-do" in one area of life or another. Shute, I'd like to get a "mulligan" on a lot of stupid things that I've done over the years! One of the greatest discomforts that we all deal with is living life with regret. We all experience regret over some event or choice that we wish could have been different. If we could only go back and do it again. But, we'll all have to settle for the hour we pick up every fall. Yet God does promise us in Joel 2:25 that He will restore the years that the locusts and the canker worm have destroyed. You may not be able to roll time back, but you can have a new start. All of us have the opportunity to become a new creation in Christ. I don't think they'll come up with any kind of "daylight saving time" that will roll back years or even days. But, God can do more for you than simply rolling back time. He'll give you your whole LIFE!
