“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth…observe to do according to all that is written therein…then thou shalt have good success“ (Joshua 1:8).
The third of the Keys to Success is to treasure your time; don’t spend it, invest it. We all have time in our lives. We all get an allotted amount. It’s not the same amount for everyone, but we all have the choice of what we do with it. Solomon tells us in Ecclesiastes 3:1 that, “to every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”
Every moment of every day we have a choice to make on what we will do with our time. We can choose to waste the time we have or we can use it wisely. Amelia Barr said, “Time is a precious gift of God; so precious that He only gives it to us moment by moment.”
Over the past seven days you have lived 168 hours. Aside from the time you have slept, what have you done with your time? How much time did you spend reading your Bible, or praying, or witnessing, or even spending time with your family? How much time did you spend surfing the web, or watching tv, or texting?
The average person has 630,000 hours to live in their lifetime. What are you doing with your time? Take time today to pray to God and ask Him to help you prioritze your time. (to be cont) “Out of time” - Matthew West
