Teach us to make the most of our time, so that we may grow in
wisdom (Psalm
90:12)
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Every minute of every day is either wasted or invested. Since
the Bible
contains over 400 verses about time, we can safely assume that
time
management is important to God. In fact, it is a spiritual
discipline that helps
determine the rate of growth and maturity of our faith. We not
only need to
view time as an eternal investment, but as an immediate one as
well. One of
the most valuable investments we can make is to spend time in
solitude.
I once read an African proverb, Lord Jesus, make my heart sit
down.
Solitude is deliberately and diligently setting aside time to
sit down at thefeet of Jesus. It is in those still, quiet moments
of solitude at His feet that we
can more clearly hear God speak and gain strength and wisdom for
the journey
ahead. In order to practice solitude, we must learn how to
budget time. We are
all responsible for how we spend the time God has given us. Time
is a precious
gift. Every morning we are credited with 86,400 seconds. No
balance is carried
into the next day and every night erases what we fail to use. If
we use it in the
wrong way, that time is lost forever and cannot be reclaimed.
Time that is not
purposely and wisely budgeted will inevitably gravitate to our
weaknesses andbe stolen by others or wasted on the unimportant.
Set priorities: Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us there is a time for
everything, a season
for every activity under heaven. We either set our life
priorities or allow
circumstances and other people to set them. We are often guilty
of allowing
human standards and expectations to determine priorities for our
lives when
what we need to do is set our priorities and then plan the days
of our lives
around them.
Stick to priorities: The apostle Paul teaches us to make the
most of every
opportunity (Ephesians 5:16). Every challenge will either wreck
our priorities
or affirm them. Right priorities stand firm in the face of
changing
circumstances because God empowers them and honors
obedience.
One day, we will all stand before the Father and give an account
of how we
have invested our time. Today, examine your time management
habits in lightof eternity. Make a new commitment to invest your
time wisely. May God help
you to invest your time wisely and grant wisdom to live a
balanced life that
pleases and honors God. God bless you.
