What could you do in 12 seconds? Two brothers spent many years and almost all of their money, just for 12 seconds. In 1903, that’s all the time it took for the Wright brothers to revolutionize the transportation industry and do what no one thought was possible.
In Ephesians, we are told to “be careful how you live. Do not be unwise but wise, making the best use of your time because the times are evil.” (5:15-16)
12 seconds … that’s how long the Wright brothers stayed in the air for the first plane flight. They found a remote area in North Carolina for two specific reasons … 1) it was deserted and no one would be around if they failed; and 2) it was sandy, so if the plane crashed, they thought they’d have a better chance of survival.
But not only did they succeed, they achieved 12 of the most famous seconds in history … all because of the faith they had in their invention.
When you think about the seconds and minutes in your life, how much time are you spending wisely? How much time do you wish you had back? Spend time investing eternally by reading your Bible and praying before God. Set aside time everyday to grow spiritually. It will certainly be time well spent.
