Time is an important factor in human engagements. That is why “time wasting” is repudiated by serious-minded, result-oriented, and committed persons. I remember a popular slogan by one of my school teachers. It says “time wasted is irretrievable”. In simple terms, time lost cannot be recovered.
Contemporary events have punctured that submission. Of course, time wasted can be recovered at least from a spiritual point of view, especially if we consider God’s declaration in Joel 2:25. In that portion of the Bible, God made a promise to restore the wasted years, the years of the locust and cankerworm. It means that God can restore wasted time. Although God can restore wasted time, we must not slaughter time on the altar of irresponsible indulgences.
