Time is the Gift We Spend Every Day

Good Morning! 

Time is one of our most valuable resources. I respect time. I value my time. When I give a person my time - to talk, to listen, or to conduct business - I am giving them a part of me. 

Time is not refundable, replaceable, or renewable. Once it’s spent, it’s gone.

Many people recognize the value of money, but few truly understand the value of time. Money comes and goes. Goals can be reset. But time only moves forward. 

Every single day we are given 24 hours. That equals 1,440 minutes, or 86,400 seconds. Each one is a gift placed in our hands by God, and how we use it reveals what we value most.

We often find ourselves consumed by work, commuting, obligations, and distractions. In between those demands are moments we fill without thinking, scrolling, worrying, waiting, or simply wasting time. 

As Christians, we must ask ourselves an honest question: where does God fit into our day? Not just in emergencies or Sunday mornings, but in the ordinary flow of our 24 hours.

Of course, we must give time to our families, time to eat, time to rest, and time to enjoy life. These things do matter. But time waits for no one, and God deserves more than leftovers. When we give God our time, that is intentional, focused, unrushed time, we are giving Him a part of ourselves.

So consider your day. Out of 86,400 seconds, how many are surrendered to God? How are you balancing what truly matters? 

Today, choose to spend your time wisely because every moment is sacred.
