Time a Gift to Waste or Use it’s Your choice! By Ps Michael Podhaczky

We are all given 24 hours each day, and it’s ours to do with as we choose. For example, yesterday is gone and never coming back, so, how did you use it? In this day and age, time has almost become the new currency. Either people are said, to be time poor or time rich. There are things like job pressures, life pressures and home pressures, etc. These and other pressures place a great demand on our families and us.

The Bible encourages us to “redeem” the time, cf. Eph 5:16; Col 4:5. It has been said that “Time is like money; the less you have of it to spare the further we make it go.” Our life is too short to waste. So it may help to remember that,

“Time is a resource that is non-renewable and non-transferable. You cannot store it, slow it up, hold it up, divide it up or give it up. You can’t hoard it up or save it for a rainy day when it’s lost it is unrecoverable. When you kill time, remember that it has no resurrection.”

So, we need to be good stewards, especially in this time-pressured world. We need to work out our prioritiesand need to stick to them while enjoying life. A Kingdom solution here could be,

“Those who donated time, doing tasks for others, felt more time affluent than those who wasted time, gained a sudden windfall of free time, or lavished extra time on themselves, reading a book or getting a pedicure.”

Andrew Murray a well know Christian author has said, 

“Time is a quality that accommodates itself to our will; we will soon succeed in finding time for.”

Pause in His presence for a moment and think this over…
