The recommended amount of sleep per night is typically quoted at 8 hours. This leaves 960 minutes free for the using. So how are you going to use them? Changing diapers, working, or surfing the web, maybe? Regardless of whether you choose or not, the minutes are always expiring.
If you are a believer, you were rescued from sin and death for a reason. Had you not been saved, you would have spent an ETERNITY apart from God. I don’t know about you, but to me, eternity is a long time. 960 minutes is a drop in the bucket compared to eternity. Actually, our entire life is also. We were given an eternity with Him!
If we are going to live the life of joy that God has prepared for us, we must take the 960 minutes and live them out intentionally for Him. We cannot just merely let the minutes come to their death unproductively. To do so is to not understand our purpose. Each one was designed for His glory. Let’s use them for that very purpose.
Reflection
- Have you been a good steward of your time?
- Do you know your purpose and are you living it out?
- What steps are you going to take today to glorify God in every minute?
Prayer
Father forgive us for not seeing the opportunity you have given us in each of these minutes. Transition or thinking, habits, and schedules, that we may glorify You in every moment. May our time be walked out in a wise manner filled with light, purpose, and fruit for You. We love You and thank You in Jesus’ Name, Amen!
