Time Investments

I am convinced of this,
so I will continue with you
so that you will grow and experience the joy of your faith.
(Philippians 1:25, NLT)

Good Morning,

My grandfather gave me his watch a few days before he died. His words were clear, “I will no longer need the time keeper.” Time is a measurement of what we do with our life. God is eternal, without the limit of time.

The Apostle Paul wrote about his time on earth in Philippians 1:

I am convinced of this: We are limited in this world by the time restraints of the past, present, and future. The Apostle Paul sat in a prison cell, ruminating on what he was supposed to do with his time on earth. After great thought, he was convinced God had a purpose for him to continue to live on earth.

So I will continue with you so that you will grow and experience the joy of your faith: The Apostle Paul told the Philippians that they were a vital component of his continued purpose on earth. His time on earth would be invested to help them grow and experience the joy of faith. In other words, his purpose was not focused on circumstances but upon people.

Ask God to reveal how to invest your time in the lives of others.

Trust God to connect you with individuals through the dynamic presence of His Spirit.

Seek to help people grow and experience the joy of faith.

Celebrate the time you receive today.

Learning with you to invest time on earth in the lives of others,
Kerrie
