Message
According to William Penn, “Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.” Over the years, humans have come to realise the importance of managing time effectively for achieving greatness and productivity in life. Jesus emphasises the importance of working at the right time, saying, “I must work while it is day.” This statement teaches us that time is limited, and we must make the most of it. As a young individual, you have the strength, skills, and potential to achieve great things.
It is essential to use your time wisely, focusing on academic excellence, personal development, and growth. Procrastination can lead to missed opportunities, while effective time management can help you reach your full potential. For the procrastinator, time will pass, and opportunities will be lost. Make the most of your youth, and invest your time in things that will benefit you now and in the future. Today, you can partner with the Lord Jesus, the true source of wisdom, to effectively utilise your time for all-around success.
Lord, help me to manage my time effectively.
How are you using your time?
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
