The most valuable resource any of us have on this earth is time. How is the majority of your time spent? Answering this question may surface some sobering conclusions. What we value or designate as worthy receives our time and attention. Is it possible to express worth or worship to God at work, in meetings, while preparing dinner or going to school? In Matthew 16 Peter is reprimanded by Jesus for “not being mindful of the things of God but the things of men.” Becoming consumed with what is at hand is obviously a trap we are prone to find ourselves snared by. What would happen if you made communication with God your daily priority? Can it be done and still accomplish your necessary tasks with excellence?
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. -Matthew 6:31-34
What if today you become more mindful of God and His presence than the pressures of your day? Could it be that if make God a priority with your time that He will multiply it back to you with efficiency, ideas, wisdom and solutions? I challenge you to re-evaluate how your time is spent and purpose to make adjustments so the majority of it includes God and see what happens to your world.
