Are You Living Life Today Or Just Going Along With The Flow

No matter who you are, where you live, how much money you have or don?t have, everyone alive today has one thing in common. Each one of us has 24 hours of time to use during the day. Time is so precious, because when it is gone it is never coming back. It is by far the most wasted commodity we have each day. Rather than use each precious minute, we often squander it, wish it away, and seldom make the most of it. I want to challenge you today. Time is the greatest gift God gives us each day. While most of it is used to work, go to school, and other essential things, you will have some time today to choose what you want to do. Make a difference!

You can make a difference in many ways. You can do something for someone, you can spend some extra time in prayer or reading the word of God, you can try to talk with someone who is having problems in their life. There are many things you can do with those little blocks of time each day that we often take for granted and waste. I am not trying to suggest that we stop having fun or doing things we want to do. I am just asking that you look at how you spend your time each day, because we all have some minutes of the day that we can be doing something to help others or fulfill the purpose God placed us here for...to serve and glorify Him with our lives. You see, if you have given your heart to Jesus, it is not your life anymore. It is His. It is not your time anymore. It is His. Think today how you can serve Him even with a few minutes during the day.
