Got The Time

For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven....God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:1,11

One of my wife’s greatest pet peeves is being late. Unfortunately, she has married a slightly obsessive-compulsive husband that attempts to do as much as possible, in a very limited amount of time, which, in turn, makes him late most places, and in turn, makes her late as well.  Famous last words: "So much to do, so little time."

God's word is clear that our limited time on this earth will have an impact on our lives in heaven. God simply does not ask us to do everything, He only wants us to do everything He has asked us to do.

There are many great things that I have had to let go of and focus more on what direction God has asked me to go. The more time you spend discovering the purpose for which God created you, the more of a significant of an impact you will have on this earth during your lifetime!

Slow Down

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you...many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him.  Psalm 32:8;10


Alicia subtly reminded me that Valentine's day was quickly approaching and it made me think, "where has all of the time gone?"  It feels like it was just yesterday that we were loading the family in the car to travel for Christmas and now Valentine's day is next Tuesday???


Something that we can easily forget to do when we become so 'busy' with the demands of each day is to forget to spend time with our loving Father.  It's a shame, and I am certainly guilty as charged, but just like any good relationship, we must give God time every day if we ever want to deepen our walk of faith.


Ponder this for a moment...God is omnipotent, right?  So, if we are to slow down and spend adequate time with Him, wouldn't He have the ability to slow time down for us?  I believe that He can and will help us to accomplish more in less time if we are willing to engage in something that He loves so much-just spending time with the Creator of the Universe.


Look at your daily schedule and make time for God-He is more important than the meaningless things that seem to occupy the majority of our time every day!
