you are having fun. Our perception of time is not static. We have a selective perception of how time is passing based on circumstances and how we are emotionally affected by them. At certain times, such as when we are hungry, and waiting in the checkout line, time will seem to pass by more slowly, while at other times, more quickly.

This is the subject of the idiom ‘time flies when you’re having fun,’ which is also an English proverb. However, both time flies and time flies when you’re having fun are English idioms with slightly different meanings.

We all have accepted as fact that there are twenty-four hours in a day, sixty minutes in an hour, and sixty seconds in a minute. Time knows no respective person. Elon Musk does not get any more time than the common man or woman who only has a nickel in their pocket. The difference is how you use it.

Bible verses about time reveal God’s perspective on time and empower us to make the most of the time we have available each day. The Bible emphasizes that God works with time from an eternal perspective. Unlike us, God can clearly see how everything fits together for all time. Below are some scriptures that are often quoted.

1. Psalm 90:12 – “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”

2. James 4:14 – “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeared for a little time, and then vanished away.”

3. Matthew 6:34 – “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”

4. Psalm 31:15 – “My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.”

5. Ecclesiastes 8:6 – “Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.”

6. Psalm 39:4 – “Lord, make me know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.”

7. Psalm 37:23 – “The steps of a good man/woman are ordered by the Lord: and he/she delighted in His way.”
