Time: Use it or Lose it.

It's been more than 31 years since I first got involved with kingdom work. From the beginning I knew that it has to be the king first and then His kingdom. Staying close to the King and making sure it is what He wanted and not just my passing fancy. His kingdom also means it is His people and His vineyard. We always seem to start off well with lots of enthusiasm and motivation. As time goes by many seems to slip and loose sight of the King and His kingdom. All the time used and the effort put into all that we are doing can easily be WASTED TIME!! Since it has nothing to do with the King or His Kingdom. It is my liitle kingdom, my little world.

I can easily sit in the office and be in my own little kingdom doing things that I like, doing things that I enjoy, (though in many ways, humanly speaking there's nothing wrong with that). I have been reminded time and again about my wise use of it. Making the most of time because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15-16)

I can sit in front of the TV and the computer for hours and accomplish ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! Have you ever felt like that? That you have just wasted so much time doing nothing? Because it has no real purpose or significance. Time cannot be bought but it can be invested. Time cannot be retrieved but you can use it to imrpove on the past. Time waits for no man but it must not pass us by. It's been a learning, growing experience in time.

I hope we will look carefully how we live, not as unwise man/woman but as wise; making the most of time, investing in the King and His Kingdom. In OM's terminology......REDEEMING THE TIME. This seems like the thing of the past. It cannot be retrieved but how can we improve on it? I have been guilty of squandering time, wasting time and losing time. Now its crucial for me to know how to make wise use of my God given time on a day to day basis. JOIN ME AND MAKE THE MOST OF IT.
