The Time

Question to think about: Do you have enough time?

There never seems to be enough time.
Time managers give
strategies,
techniques,
skills,
and tools
to
maximize time.
These experts say that it is imperative to shift our attitude towards time and to set measurable goals.

After all is said done, time is a marker of how we live which requires daily choices.

Jesus demonstrated time management. He lived with purpose in a specific allotted amount of time:
Jesus made these statements while he was teaching in the section of the Temple known as the Treasury. But he was not arrested, because his time had not yet come.(John 8:20, NLT)

How is it possible to live with the same kind of purpose Jesus had?

"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met." (Matthew 6:31-33, The Message)


Seek God-reality, God initiative, God-provisions in the time you are given. Rather than worrying about what you are missing, trust God every minute.
Live well in the time you have been given.

Learning with you to live well every minute of the day,
Kerrie
