Making the Most of Our Time


"Teach us to make the most of our time, so that we may grow in wisdom." Psalm 90:12

Would it be possible to stop planning our own time frames and instead allow the Lord to plan them? I mean He is the Creator of all things, including time.

If our desire is to grow in wisdom, then we need to ask the Lord to help us make the most of the time we are given. 

Time is so fragile in the first place, and as children of the Lord, we need to be using our time to invest in His Kingdom. 

I can tell you from experience, that once you begin asking the Lord to help you manage Your time, He will show you areas that have been spent more on your Miss or Mr. "ME's" then on Him. He might even reveal to you that your children should not be in every sport, especially if they take time away from Him. 

He might even show you that sitting in front of the TV or computer robs you of blessings. So what would happen if we spent that time with Him in His Word and with others? How much closer would our relationship with Christ grow? How much more would we grow in wisdom?

He might also show us that we spend more time investing in our careers when we should and could be investing in Him and His Kingdom.

If we want to become better stewards of our time, we need to ask the Lord to teach us and show us how to make the most of the time HE has given us.

Jesus teach me to make the most of my time so that I may grow in wisdom. Forgive me for being a poor steward with the precious time You have given me. Amen
