What do minutes make you?

The other day I was speaking with one of the men in our church who was reminded by his father how many minutes he had been alive (for he was to soon celebrate a birthday). Consider how this works:

There are 1,440 minutes in an hour

525,600 minutes in a year

1,051,200 minutes in 2 years

2,628,000 minutes in 5 years

5,256,000 minutes in 10 years

10,512,000 minutes in 20 years

15,768,000 minutes in 30 years

21,024,000 minutes in 40 years

26,280,000 minutes in 50 years

31,536,000 minutes in 60 years

36,972,000 minutes in 70 years

42,048,000 minutes in 80 years

47,304,000 minutes in 90 years

52,560,000 minutes in 100 years

What do minutes make you? This means that by the time you are 2 years old you are truly a millionaire. What are you doing with the precious commodity given to you by the Lord? How are you using your time to promote the glory of God - rejoicing in His salvation?

Ephesians 5:15-16
15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. (NKJV)

Psalm 90:12
So teach us to number our days, that we may present to You a heart of wisdom. (NASU)
