What the Bible says about using our time wisely

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-31-26

by

Matthew 6:34 (NKJV) 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Every now and then we need to evaluate our schedule, making sure that we are not overbooked and setting dates and goals that are unrealistic.

It’s over-scheduling that keeps us worrying in our heads all day long. Will we meet our goals? Will we make that appointment on time?

It causes chaos, and a buzz within our minds. When setting our schedule, be sure it is balanced.

This is a gentle reminder; our health is important to God and to those who love and need us.

We need to schedule our days conservatively.

We can’t be trying to do 48 hrs. of work in a 24 hour day.

Tomorrow’s issues will be there for tomorrow to deal with. Take today, and focus on just this day.

We must leave room for us to sit and have a cup of tea, or our favorite latte, and maybe read a few passages from God’s word and actually be able to reflect on them.

We should have some time to take a breath, shut down our busy minds, and not feel guilty.

It is needed for us to stay balanced and strong in our daily walk.

Life is precious and short. It’s OK to give yourself some quiet moments!

We love you all so much.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-25-25 – What Do We Hold Onto?

by

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings! 

God breathed His breath into Adam. And Adam became a living being. 

That same breath of life is in each of us. God gives our heart the beat that sustains us. 

We live here on earth for a short time, and then we pass into eternity. 

But what do we do with that time in between? How do we spend our lives? 

What is it that we hold onto during our short time here on earth in human skin? 

That is the question we ask and discuss in our newest video, “What Do We Hold Onto”, where we teach about learning to choose what we hold onto, and what we spend our time on, carefully, considering the brevity of our lives. 

We hope that this video will speak to each of your hearts, and that it will be meaningful in your walk with God. 

Please click here to watch the video now.

We love you all very much. 

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-28-19

by

Ecclesiastes 3:6 (NKJV) 6 A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away…

Time is precious. If we feel we are running out of time and are always weighed down with pressure, deadlines, and appointments, it may be that time to eliminate some things. Time to de-clutter our schedule, our plans and to eliminate our time with certain people, etc.

Most of the time we put ourselves in these predicaments. We think we are some sort of super hero. That bubble has to pop if we want to really be available for what God has for us.

We can not do it all on our own. We need Him to guide our steps and protect our time from bloodsuckers; the things or the people that like to suck the life out of us and then leave us drained.

Do we have a few of those on us that we need to remove?

If we don’t throw off some things, we will become stagnant, tired and gasping for air.

That is not how God wants His children functioning.

Our strength comes from the joy of the Lord. But where is our strength today? It’s not there.

Why? Because we run around taking care of the bloodsuckers, and the time we have left is spent on the things we were supposed to get done before they interrupted us.

It’s time to stop the rat race and sit at the feet of Jesus and talk with Him.

God knows how tired we are, how worn and how used we are feeling. But we must make the effort to stop it and get with Him. There comes a time to say, “NO more.” Get rid of that which is holding us back, slowing us down, and sucking every ounce of our energy up.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-31-18

by

Ephesians 5:15-16 (NKJV) 15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 

It’s important that we live cautiously, giving careful consideration to the choices that we make. 

Verse 15, above, tells us that doing otherwise is unwise and foolish. 

Each choice that we make will impact our lives in one way or another. So we need to choose wisely. 

We are told further that we are to “redeem the time”, to make the most of every opportunity that God gives us. 

The days are evil. The times we live in are a product of the corrupt world that we live in and the depraved condition of the human heart, as many live their lives in an endless pursuit of pleasures of all sorts. 

It’s critical that we live by the Spirit, not by our flesh or our intellect. 

Romans 8:13 (NKJV) 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 

Then and only then can we make wise, godly choices and overcome evil in our lives.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-18-17

by

Proverbs 9:6 (NKJV) 6 Forsake foolishness and live, And go in the way of understanding.

Be careful of getting involved with foolishness. We can’t let it tie up our time. Don’t let it cause us to lose sleep or cause our minds to get distracted with petty things.

Foolishness is not for us. We have to acknowledge it for what it is when we see it coming, and keep on walking past it. Don’t let it get ahold of us.

We can waste a lot of valuable time because of foolishness. Foolishness will try to sneak in and catch us when we are not paying attention.

Get God’s understanding. Let Him keep us alert to such things. He knows what the enemy is up to and will give us the understanding we need to discern these things.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-26-17

by

Psalm 37:23 (NKJV) 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way.

The steps we take each day are important. Are they God-ordered steps? Are we feeling like we are in forward motion? Are we happy with the steps we take?

Each day we take steps, and those steps use up precious time.

The older we get, the more we notice how quickly time goes by. How and what we spend our time on each day is important. We can waste time on a lot of things that are meaningless.

That’s right; time goes by whether we are doing meaningless things or meaningful things. We can never get that time back.

Some of the things that are very time-sucking in this day and age are the internet, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.

There are many other things that can draw us in, like gossip, drama, books, watching movies and looking at magazines that are not good for our spiritual well-being. We will suffer from the impartation they leave in our minds.

Being aware of where we are spending our time and energy is going to help us to know where we need to make adjustments and changes. It’s important to keep ourselves accountable with the things we are doing and saying each day.

Will we take our precious time that we have been given and use it wisely, spending it on the God-ordered steps, so that He may delight in us?
