Time waits for no one. Time is interesting because you can secure time, but you cannot store time. For example, you can purchase a one hour massage, but once you get the massage, you can't get that time back. Time is a limited commodity that we are constantly running out of. However, we treat time like an unlimited resource because we waste so much of it. We go days, weeks, an even months without doing anything productive!
When it comes to our faith, we think we have our entire lives to establish a relationship with the Lord. We think we can have our fun, finish school, etc. and then focus on our faith; not knowing that life is but a vapor and that tomorrow is not promised to anyone. We should have an eagerness to get to know God and to tell others about him! People are dying and going to hell, and for that reason, we should have an eagerness to tell them the good news! The return of the Lord is near and we have to do as John 9:4 says "We must do the works of Him who sent Me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work". So how do we make use of this precious commodity?
-Ask God for wisdom on how to plan each day in a way that brings glory to Him.
- Challenge yourself to do at least one thing that edifies the Kingdom of God each day; whether it is an encouraging word, an inspirational post, or a random act of kindness.
Time is gift that is not to be wasted. As always, stay rooted in God.
Verse of the week:
"You don’t even know if you will be alive tomorrow! For all you are is a mist that appears for a little while and then disappears".
James 4:14 (CJB)
Wonderful word! Keep doing the work of the Lord and be Blessed!!
