]]> 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

  1. Have you been a good steward of your time?
  2. Do you know your purpose and are you living it out?
  3. 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!

There are plenty of things in this life that look great from the outside.  However; where your heart is determines the success of your journey.  God sees more than just your actions. He has insight to your motives.  

When your heart is completely given to Christ and His work you can not fail.  Your plans will be established.  Your mind will be transformed from living your own agenda to living for Him and your life will have meaning and eternal impact. 

Personal Reflection

One of my favorite verses comes only a few after these.  

The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps. ~Proverbs 16:9

If you’re not committing your works to the LORD, prepare for your steps to be reordered.  Here are some thoughts to ponder:

  • What are you most passionate about with regard to the Great Commission?
  • What part of your passion needs to come in line with God’s plan?

Prayer Focus

LORD God, shape our passions according to your perfect plans. Teach us to walk in step with you. Equip us as we commit all our ways unto you. Work in and through us to change the lives of others for all eternity.  We pray these bold prayers in the powerful Name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

As I read this passage this morning I was reminded of Romans 8.  Romans, by the way, is an excellent place to meditate with regard to salvation, sanctification, sin, resurrection and a score of other parts of the Christian life including walking in the Spirit.

So what does it mean to walk in the Spirit?

Today I’d like to share a link to an excellent blog post from about 2yrs ago on Crossway.org that gives 7 steps:.

https://www.crossway.org/blog/2012/03/7-steps-to-walking-the-spiritual-walk/

Lord we pray that you would equip us to walk in the Spirit.  Let us be completely in step with you Father.  May the world be forever changed for your glory!
