How Will I Prioritize My Time and What Can I Achieve Today?
At this precise moment, I am sitting at my desk, trying to figure out the best words to communicate my thoughts about time and success. After all, God is the one who gives us precious time in His Creation. Consider the very first verse in the Bible, “In the beginning (refers to time) God Created the heavens and the earth.” (Gen.1`:1)
We do so many things with our time, such as sleep, being with our family, going to work, playing and relaxing. None of these are inherently evil. In fact, they are simply a part of everyday living if we keep them in a proper perspective.
If we want to spend our time wisely, then God must be our priority in all that we do. Colossians 3:2 NKJV “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” The sad reality is, most people have no desire to focus their attention on God. It’s just not that important because the here and now is what controls them. “Live and let live” we are told.
Remember the words of Hebrews 3:12-13 NKJV “Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; (13) but exhort one another daily, while it is called “TODAY,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.”
What can I achieve today? Well, that depends on my character and service to God. I am reminded of what Paul told the young man Timothy, 2 Timothy 3:14-15 NKJV “But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, (15) and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
I can achieve a greater spiritual understanding and growth today if I apply my self. My faith and conviction can become stronger if I have the right heart and determination.
Well, by the time I finished this article a whole bunch of moments passed by. I will never get them back. The good news is, I benefited from writing the article and I hope you get some benefit by reading the article.
