We live in a world that worships activity, accomplishment and experience. When someone asks us “How we are doing”, we like to answer “Busy as a bee”. We certainly do have a lot of opportunity to do good in the world.
Jesus was concerned about how we spend our time. Many of his parables dealt with management of time. So time management is a spiritual concern. In the Gospel scripture for August 12th Jesus even says, “Where your treasure is, There will your heart be also”. Luke 12:34
Someone has said, “You don’t really pay for thing’s with money. You pay for them with time!” Translate the dollar value of the house, car or anything else into time, and then see if it’s still worth it.
Are we good stewards of time? How much do we give to our job? How much do we give to family? How much do we give to friends? How much do we give to God?
Our ultimate goal in life is to be ready for the Son of Man who is coming at an unexpected hour. Jesus said, “Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid”.
Have you found the peace of God in your life? Summer is a good time to slow down and seek the space and time to contemplate Gods direction and purpose for your life. Listen for God and he will show you the right path. Don’t forget to reserve time for church on Sunday. See ya!
