"What Are You Doing with Your Time?"

“What Are You Doing with Your Time?”

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.        Ecclesiastes 3:1

For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a person may be weighed down by misery.    Ecclesiastes 8:6

“God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.     Ecclesiastes 3:17

 



For a lot of people, TIME is plentiful, right NOW,with the Covid-19, restrictions, like the “STAY AT HOME” situation, the problem with this is:  What to do with our TIME?  Many will take this time to WORK around their homes, doing much NEEDED repairs, or putting in a garden, things of that nature, which in themselves, there is nothing wrong about spending your TIME doing such things.  But my question is:  Have you given thought to the REPAIRS that NEEDS to be done with your SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING or your RELATIONSHIP with God?  How is that working for YOU?



King Solomon, the WISEST MAN of all TIMES, tells us that; “There is a TIME for EVERYTHING, and a SEASON for EVERY ACTIVITY under the heavens, which leads me to BELIEVE that when your PRIORTIES are in the RIGHT place, then EVERYTHING will work out the RIGHT and PROPER way. 



The very FIRST PRIORTY should be spending TIME with your HEAVENLY FATHER, and developing a LASTING, INTIMATE, RELATIONSHIP with Him.  For many, the ONLY TIME they take for Him, is when they NEED or WANT Him to come to their aid.  When we work at a STRONG, INTIMATE, RELATIONSHIP with Him, He will be WILLING to CARE for us in ANY and EVERY situation, even in USING our time WISELY.  So, if you do NOT PUT God FIRST in your life, you are NOT using your TIME WISELY. 



In chapter eight of Ecclesiastes, Solomon tells us that there is a PROPER TIME and PROCEDURE for EVERY MATTER, even when a person is WEIGHED down with MISERY.  The PROPER TIME and PROCEDURE in spending your TIME WISELY, is to BEGIN the day, talking to your HEAVENLY FATHER about the day you are facing.  This SHOULD take place before ANY other activity.  If need be, set your alarm an hour ahead of the time you usually get up, and BEGIN the day with the ONE, who is in CONTROL of it.  Let Him be your GUIDE through your day, EVEN and ESPECIALLY, when you are going through hard times. 



Solomon, in chapter three, verse seventeen, tells us that:  God, the RIGHTEOUS JUDGE, will bring JUDGMENT on both the RIGHTEOUS, for their works, at the BEMA SEAT of Jesus Christ, and the GREAT WHITE THRONE, JUDGMENT for the WICKED, for their CONDEMNATION.  A time when EVERY DEED, will be JUDGED.  Are you READY?



If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you will stand before Him at the GREAT WHITE THRONE and be JUDGED for your sins, and CONDEMNED to an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, after your there.  However, God, in His ABUNDANT MERCY, and AMAZING GRACE, has provided a way for YOU to ESCAPE HELL, NOW.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. CONFESSING your sins to Him and asking Him for His FORGIVENESS.  Then BELIEVE with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  Then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and start SPENDING your TIME WISELY.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
