“So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise.
Make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days.
Don’t act thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants you to do.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT)
NOVEMBER 24 - Twisting the keys into the door, the twenty-eight-year-old banker stuffed them back into his pocket, the tangled keys cushioned by some sort of paper. Oh yeah—that’s the tract I was going to give to that new teller with all the problems. I’ll have plenty of time to give it to him tomorrow, won’t I, Lord?
God gave all of us a commission to reach the ends of the earth with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This will not only take our resources, but it will also require of us our time. All of us have been given twenty-four hours in a day with which we are to change the world around us. Whether it is in the workplace, social arena, home, or church, we must look at each hour as an opportunity to solve problems and add value to those with whom we associate.
The next time we go to work, we must see those eight hours as a gift from Heaven giving us the ability to influence and impact those for whom we work, and those with whom we live. The day we begin to use our time as a tool to change our world is the day the body of Christ begins to touch the entire world.
Father, I thank You for giving to me the gift of time. I choose to use my time wisely so I can impact my world for You. I refuse to act thoughtlessly, but I will understand what You want and what I am to do.
