Time is a currency we can only spend once. How do you spend your time? Are you selfish with your time, only doing for yourself, and not for others? Or do you only use your time for others when you receive a benefit from it.
If you’re a Christian how much time do you spend with God? If you’re not a Christian it makes much more sense to be selfish with your time. For the believer, you must know how much God wants to fellowship with you, so why don’t you spend time with Him? Seriously, what could possibly be more important than communing with the Creator of the Universe?
Now please don’t misunderstand me; we all have responsibilities in this life. I’m fully aware of that, because I too have responsibilities. So I’m not suggesting that we never do anything but spend time with God, but He should be He pretty much always on your mind or at least in the back of your mind? We need to make our relationship with the Lord what drives our decision making in this life.
Now I’m not perfect. No way, no how. I’m broken just like everyone else; however, I am trying every day to be a little more like Christ and I’m trying to incorporate God in as much of my life as possible because that’s what I believe God would like us to do. Do I fail in my attempt? You betcha, but that doesn’t stop me from trying.
He loves us so much, yet many of us seem to keep Him at an arm’s length. If you’re a parent, how would you feel if a child of yours treated your relationship that way? If you don’t have kids, then plug in wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend... whatever you like. The important thing is that you grasp my point here. We get one crack at this life. Once saved we’ve accomplished the most important part... forgiveness for our sins. But what comes next?
Let the opening statement roll around your mind a while. You can only spend time once; what will you do with it? Time....
Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.
In His Name & for His Glory,
