Time

Why a day does consist of 24 hours? Some say men set it that way that 60 seconds made up 1 minute, where 60 minutes made up 1 hour. Why did they not calculated in such a way that 1000 minutes made up a day? Or 100 minutes made up an hour? It would have made calculations so much easier.

Whatever the agreement was, a day was a day, no matter what unit we used today, a day’s time cannot be increased, neither can it decrease assuming the amount of sunlight = sundown (equator area, it’s fair that way).

How great is it that God’s creation of light and dark added up with the speed of the earth rolling on its axis and size of mother Earth, produces the right amount of time in a day for mankind. How amazing is it for mankind to be able to eat, sleep, work and rest all within the same 24 hour period. Some say, our body’s circadian rhythm of 24 hours adjusts itself to fit the 24 hour cycle.

What if a day was 30 hours? Would we have a 30 hour cycle then? How long would we need to sleep, eat, rest and work now?

I believe that God intended to give 24 hours a day period for us all. He fine-tuned His creations especially us, to fit and use 24 hours to our comfort to perform all the necessary activities in life. He perfected 24 hours in a day for us so we would not have to work for more than 10 hours, eat 5 meals a day and sleep for 15 hours. Neither would we have less time in a day to do anything. Combined with the amazing Earth’s self rotation on its axis and the size of the Earth, God gave us the one precious free thing we have unconditionally.

Time. Time that we could use it to carry out human activities.


We are so used to complain that time is insufficient in a day to do what we want when in fact we should be grateful that a day is never too long neither too short. Let’s be grateful. It is perfect.
