In my last post I wrote about stewardship of money, well here’s a post about how we are stewards of our time in a bit more detail. Lately I’ve come to realize, rather painfully at first, that I have a limited amount of time here. Yeah, it’s a somewhat morbid thought, but as my high school graduation begins to fade from memory I realize I will grow old. So, what do I do? Well I could panic, do nothing, or use my time wisely. One and two are out, but what in the world does using my time wisely mean? Does it mean I stop sleeping, or watching the Red Sox, or playing baseball, or does it mean something else? Well at the moment I am not completely sure, our lives and faith are called a journey for a reason. Lately I’ve been reading two books, one given to me recently another a long time ago. I was recently given The Reason for God and a while ago was given Don’t Waste your Life. I’ve got another post on this to come soon, but for now all I’ll say is I’m making some changes in my relationship with God and my life. For now the only answer that comes to mind is Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi, there are many verses that stick out, here are key parts of them. 3:7 “But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.” 3:10 “I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings.” Finally 4:14 “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” I do not have the exact answer, what I do know however, is that a life not lived for the glory of God is a wasted life and that is something I shall try hard to avoid.
