The word "some" seems fudgy, but combine a lot of the good "somes" together and the result is a complete and balanced life.
We need to pray some and worship some. We definitely have to laugh some and cry some, teach some and be taught some.
Today is not complete at all if all one did was to sit the whole day in front of the computer, jumping from Facebook to Yahoo to Blogger to Twitter and back, and just breaking for meals in between.
Stretch your legs. Have chika with your friends. Call someone. Pray for someone. Air your brain.
Life is too short for anyone to be so focused on its unsavory parts, like regrets, complaining, looking at what others have that we don't have. Or being grouchy because we've messed up something.
1 Chronicles 21:28 says that David died at a good old age, having enjoyed life, wealth and honor.
God has given us 24 hours in a day times 70 or 80 years, or shorter or longer, within which to accomplish whatever He has purposed for each of us.
That's either a lifetime of goofing or wasting your gifts, or a lifetime of building and adding to others---or both; and making up for lost time.
I pray that whatever you're going through in your life right now, you will make a decision to build and to add and to make a difference in the life of others; and thus experience the joy and peace of God in Christ.
Assuming that eight hours in a day are to rest and recharge our bodies, let's make the remaining hours count.
Our relations matter. We are accountable to God. By His grace, we enjoy His salvation and peace, protection, healing, and provisions.
In the same vein, we must also be committed to our loved ones, friends and the whole body of Christ, plus obey the laws of this country He has given us.
Pray and read His Word some. Learn some. Teach some. Be taught some. Love some. Reach out some. Give some. Receive some. Shop some. Eat some. Share some. Be happy and make it a point to make others happy too.
Don't let this day pass without having done something good for someone.
Give your 24 hours totally to obeying Him. And whatever you do, do it all in the name of the Lord.
I’ve been following and enjoying your blog for a while now and would like to invite you to visit and perhaps follow me back. Sorry I took so long for the invitation.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is quite sad to think that we have 24 hours a day and yet only a fraction of that is spent doing something for others. We have to keep trying . . .
ReplyDeleteEven if we had 30 hours in a day yet don't know what matters most, we'd still be running after the wrong things and discover that at the end of the day, we've accomplished nothing. Oh grace! Without it where would we be?
DeleteYou actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I feel I might never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and extremely broad for me. I am taking a look forward in your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
