Time


Time...Solomon said “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven.” Time, a resource that is scarce in the 21st century. Time is something that we cannot create more of, so we must make much of the time that we have! We are living life at a blistering pace...we have so much to do and so little time...so we are forced into the art of priority. Routine task have to be placed in an order of priority. Our daily balance of time has to be in place, we have to have some sort of routine or we wont accomplish the things that need to be accomplished. Prioritizing helps us to best utilize the time that God has given us. How do you plan your day? Are you including time for God in your daily plans. All disciples, or followers of Christ have to make spiritual development a major part of time we spend each day. What are you doing? Take some time to evaluate how you spend time with the Lord each day. How are you doing? Our daily routine must include time in Bible study. Someone asked me the the other day “How much time is enough time?” I believe that it is different for everyone. The point is that we must have some sort of systematic Bible study. We have to be in God’s word...the Bible is how God reveals His directions to us. We also need to spend time in prayer. We need the person to God communication. He wants to hear from us. We are to be anxious for nothing, but in everything we are to make our request of God. We are to make petitions (request) of God with a thankful heart. The God of the universe, loves you! If we delight ourselves in the Lord, He will give us the desires of our hearts. Prayer and Bible Study have to be a part of our daily discipline. What else, what other things must we include. Fellowship with other believers is also an important element! Iron sharpens iron...we help each other when we get together and open up the Bible and share with each other. Publicly reading the Word and praying together the body! The body that I am speaking of is the body of Christ, believers make up the body! We are the Church so by spending time together we strengthen each other How are you spending your time? My prayer for you today is that you make time for God and the things of God. I love you all <><
