Soaking in the wonder of the jeweled late-afternoon sky, a man of significant wealth finds himself far from the echo of familiar cityscapes, deep within a mysterious country, where cryptic sounds and wisdom flood his senses. A longing had stirred within his heart, a desire to understand his purpose with the time his life represented.
The man understood as he watched the dust dance between the golden rays of twilight that time was a tapestry woven not by man's hands but by an omnipotent weaver who guides each thread in an orchestration of love and grace.

Each spotlight reveals a progressive unveiling of God's redemptive plan for humanity. Romans 5:6 speak the best about how God is in control and cares about time. The most important thing we can remember about time is God promises eternal life with him to those who believe in Jesus' redeeming work ( John 3:16; 1 John 5:13 ) and eternal separation from him to those who spurn it ( Matt 25:46; 2 Thess 1:6-8 ).
