WAKTU BERJALAN SEARAH
Meskipun waktu bersifat universal, tidak ada manusia yang hidup dapat mengatakan apa sebenarnya waktu itu. Waktu, seperti halnya ruang, tidak dapat dipahami. Tidak ada orang yang dapat menjelaskan di mana mulainya arus waktu atau kemana tujuannya. Hal-hal ini hanya termasuk dalam pengetahuan Allah yang tidak terbatas, yang dilukiskan sebagai Allah "dari waktu yang tidak ditentukan sampai waktu yang tidak ditentukan" (Mzm. 90:2)
Disisi lain, waktu mempunyai sifat-sifat tertentu yang dapat diketahui. Kecepatan peredarannya dapat diukur. Selain itu, ia hanya bergerak ke satu arah. Seperti lalu lintas di jalan satu jurusan, waktu tidak henti-hentinya bergerak dalam arah yang satu itu juga-maju, terus maju. Tidak soal berapa kecepatannya....ia maju ke depan, waktu tak pernah dapat dibalikan. Kita hidup hanya sesaat lamanya. Akan tetapi waktu yang sesaat ini terus mengalir ke masa lampau. Waktu tidak dapat dihentikan.
MASA LAMPAU
Waktu lampau telah berlalu, sudah menjadi sejarah dan tidak akan terulang lagi. Usaha apapun untuk memanggil kembali masa lampau sama mustahilnya seperti berusaha membuat air terjun melompat kembali ke gunung dari mana ia berasal, atau membuat anak panah melayang kembali ke busur yang telah membidiknya.
Kesalahan kita telah meninggalkan bekas dalam arus waktu, bekas yang hanya dapat dihapus oleh Allah (Yes. 43:25). Begitu pula, perbuatan-perbuatan baik seseorang di masa lampau telah menghasilkan satu nama baik dan ia "mendapat balasan" dengan berkat dari Allah (Ams. 12:14; 13:22).
Masa lampau bisa sukses atau gagal. Masa lampau tak dapat dikendalikan lagi. Mengenai orang jahat ada tertulis : "sebab mereka segera lisut seperti rumput dan layu seperti tumbuh-tumbuhan hijau." (Mzm. 37:2).
MASA DEPAN
Masa depan berbeda. Masa depan senantiasa menuju ke arah kita. Dengan bantuan Firman Allah kita dapat mengetahui rintangan-rintangan yang menghadang di hadapan kita dan mempersiapkan diri untuk menghadapinya. Kita dapat menyimpan bagi diri kita "harta di surga". (Mat. 6:20).
Harta ini tak akan lenyap dibawa arus waktu. Harta ini akan tetap merupakan milik kita dan bertahan dalam masa depan yang kekal dan penuh berkat. Kita berminat untuk memakai waktu dengan bijaksana, sebab ini mempengaruhi masa depan kita. (Ef. 5:15,16).

WHILE WALKING IN THE DIRECTION OF
Although time is universal, no human being alive can say what exactly that time. Time, as well as space, can not be understood. There is no one who can explain where the start of the current time or where its purpose. These things are only included in the knowledge of God is not limited to, which is depicted as a God "from an unspecified time until an unspecified time" (PS. 90: 2)
On the other hand, the time has certain properties that can be known. "Speed can be measured. In addition, he just moves into one direction. As traffic on the road one course, time is not constantly moving in one direction-forward, was also keep going forward. No matter how much its velocity .... He came forward, the time could never be dibalikan. We live only for a moment. But this time it just kept pouring into the past. The time can not be stopped.

PAST TENSE
Past time has passed, has already become history and will not be repeated again. Any attempt to call back the past same mustahilnya like trying to make the waterfall jumping back into the mountains from where he came from, or make the arrows float back to the arc have snaps the shot.
The error we have left traces in the flow of time, the former which can only be removed by God (ISA. 43: 25). Similarly, a person's good deeds in the past has produced a good name and that he "got the reply" with blessings from God (Prov. 12: 2; 13: 22).
The past can succeed or fail. The past cannot be controlled again. About wicked it is written: "for they soon lisut like grass and wither as the green vegetation." (PS. 37: 2).
THE FUTURE OF
The future is different. The future always towards us. With the help of God's word we can identify the obstacles-the obstacles lurking in the presence of us and prepare to deal with it. We can save for ourselves "treasures in heaven". (Mat. 6: 20).
This property will not vanish brought the flow of time. This property will still belong to us and stay in the future of the eternal and full of blessings. We want to use the time wisely, because it affects our future. (Eph. 5: 15,16).
