Believing God’s best for you

It is so important for us to manage our time well. The way we manage our time will determine our destiny. The Bible says
Eph 5:15-17 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
God wants us to be careful in the way we use our time. Time is one of the most valuable resources that we have. It is more valuable than money. Life is made of time. We must make most of our time. We must be good stewards of what God has given us. To waste our time is to waste our lives.
Where we are today is linked to how we have spent our time in the past. Where we will be in the future will be determined by the way we spend our time now. Our life is determined by how we spend our time.
4 keys of Time Management that will revolutionize your life
T – Trust God
Entrust your time to God. Have a relationship with Him and allow Him to shape your time. Your most important appointment of the day is your appointment with God. Be conscious of Him throughout the day.
I – Invest into your time
What you sow is what you reap – the Law of Sowing and Reaping. Sow into your time. If you want to reap something in the future, you need to start sowing now. Sow things that God wants. Sow your priorities.
M – Manage your Time
- Schedule your time, plan your day. It is like a road map that will ensure proper use of time eg. for prayer, God’s Word, family, studies, church, etc. It will help you avoid impulsive living
