There is something God has given every one of us that we can’t get back. Some of us have wasted it. Others have been wise with it. TIME. God has given us all TIME from our first breath, through infancy into young children to youth to adulthood … every breath … every second, minute, hour, week, month, year… has been God’s GIFT to us… TIME we can never get back. This very moment of TIME is His gift to us.

We can evaluate how we are using it and spend TIME honoring Him wherever we are, whatever we do, doing it all for His glory,

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God”-( 1 Corinthians 10:31)

The Psalmist had the wisdom to pray regarding the TIME allotted to him in light of the TIME coming when he no longer would have TIME;

“O Lord, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am” (Ps. 39:4).”

“Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. “-(Ps. 90:12)

I LISTENED to a dear prominent follower of Christ who knowing his TIME on earth was near the end and said as he looked back and if he could speak to his younger self he would say don’t waste TIME. He said the first year he was a Christian he was on fire. He wanted to see every soul saved. He said he did grow and spiritually mature but he was not as zealous as he had been that first year. He has been greatly used by the LORD through his books, messages, discipleing people. It would seem TIME was well spent. But from his perspective he said he wasted more TIME than ten men.

Each of us have an are alotted, GIFTED A specific amount of TIME as we each have an appointment with death as the means through which we go to see God and enter into eternity. Perhaps a good prayer for us is, “Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. “-(Ps. 90:12)

May we all have that desire to know Him, love Him and zeal to share Him that others come to Know Him as we first had when Christ became real to us.

LORD help us to be wise and use the time you have gifted us focusing on You, Your kingdom learning to love You more intentionally and loving others more humbly serving them for Jesus sake knowing we will be opposed for the days are evil. Help us to use and spend our TIME wisely investing our lives to Love and follow You and seeking to build up Your people and seeking to reach out for the souls of lost with the liberating Gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ.

Paul wrote these words, “making the very most of your TIME [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days are [filled with] evil.”-( Ephesians 5:15 Amplified Bible).

There is opposition to the follower of Christ for the days are evil and we need wisdom to keep our focus on the LORD and His Kingdom business in the TIME we have been allotted on this earth to be about His business and whatever we do doing it for His glory!

All people have their stay on this earth and all come to the end of their TIME. God has determined that when the heart stops, and life is over! And then? Eternity. We all step into eternity some to be with God who through His mercy have acknowledged their sin turned to God for mercy and trusted the exclusive work and Person of the LORD Jesus alone as their Sin bearer and Substitute to satisfy the wrath of God on the cross for them, that they may be forgiven and adopted into the family of God. Amazing Grace! And then others reject God’s provision of the LORD Jesus and they are cast into Hell. “And just as it is destined for people to die once, and after this comes judgment,”-{Hebrews 9:27}. Some wrongly thought like those in Noah’s TIME that their TIME would not end, but it did end, it always ends, are you living for Christ or not?

This moment…God has gifted us TIME. Use it wisely and don’t Waste it!

Appreciate you pray that for me and mine….

I just paused and prayed for you who read this… this verse, “Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. “-(Ps. 90:12)

Live wisely. Spend your TIME in light of eternity. We can’t go back and get that TIME back but we can LIVE this moment of TIME and begin a new , praise God!

Ask Him to help you and remind you to do so, and He will:)

God bless
