VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Our Daily Bread Author: todays word [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 23:53:52 04/04/02 Thu April 5, 2002 Time: Handle With Care Read: Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. —Colossians 4:5 Bible In One Year: 1 Samuel 1-3; Luke 8:26-56 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you had to buy time, would there be any difference in the way you would spend it? Would you use the minutes, hours, and days of your life more wisely? Of course, we can't put a price tag on the minutes and hours we possess. They are given to us freely. But that doesn't excuse us from using them carefully and wisely. The giver of time is God Himself, and that places a far greater value on our time than any monetary figure could suggest. We must therefore take advantage of the opportunities time provides to serve the Lord and to do His will. This doesn't mean that we have to be working every single moment. It's necessary to take a break every so often, to stop and smell the roses along the way, or to enjoy the beauty of a sunset. We use our time wisely when we combine the appropriate "stops" with the proper "steps." According to Solomon, there is a time for all of God's purposes to be accomplished (Ecclesiastes 3:1). I'm so grateful that the Lord doesn't sell time. He provides it as a gift of His grace. So let's spend our days "redeeming the time," using the opportunities to live for God (Colossians 4:5). Yes, time is precious. Handle with care! —RWD We do not know how long we have Till time for us is past, So let us live as if this day Is going to be our last. —D. De Haan To spend time wisely, invest it in eternity. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
