Time is broken up into millenniums, centuries, decades, years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds for our benefit. The benefit to us is separation. We do not have to be held captive by a single division of time, we can separate and walk in a new division. God is the Father of time and He created it to be used in the same way represented in the beginning. Time is to be used for creating.

without neglecting the former.

rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin
for a short time. 26He regarded disgrace for
the sake of Christ as of greater value than
the treasures of Egypt, because he was
looking ahead to his reward.
