No. Every single one of those 730,000 days was a unique, priceless, irreplaceable creation of God (Psalm 118:24). Many wasted their lives, but God did not waste theirs.
God was not wasting time or people during these unrecorded days. He was holding all things together by the word of his power every moment (Colossians 1:17).
God Does Not Waste Your Time or You
Let the unremarkable years of Genesis speak to you. A few days of your life are remarkable, containing events and experiences where you see God’s providence with startling clarity and when your faith and life course are indelibly and memorably shaped. But the vast majority of your days—likely a day like today—will pass into obscurity unrecorded and irretrievable to your memory. But though today may be unremarkable, it is not unimportant. It is unique, priceless and irreplaceable.
Today God is at work in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). Today, though unseen and unfelt by you, God is at work in every detail of your history and experience, and the history and experience of possibly thousands of others, to bring about answers to your long-requested prayers, to open the door that seems impossibly closed to you, to turn the prodigal homeward, to save your hard-hearted loved-one, to deliver you from the affliction or to make you an unexpected, remarkable means of grace to someone else.

Today is a day that the Lord has specially made (Psalm 118:24).
