#732: Managing the Time God has Given Us
Show Notes

Our problem is not that we don’t have enough time.  The problem is that we don’t always use our time wisely.  We all have the same amount of time. When it comes to time every single one of us has the exact same amount.  We all get 168 hours each week.  The good news is the Bible has a lot to say about how we can honor God with our time.  The Bible teaches us how to manage our time in a way that pleases God.


Main Points:

1. I have learned it’s important to do a time audit. Ask yourself, “how am I spending my time? Am I being wise with the use of my time? Am I losing time somewhere? Am I wasting time? It’s good to analyze where our time is being spent.
2. Then ask yourself the question… “Is this really how I want to spend my life?  Remember your time is your life.”  God is only giving you so much.  How are you going to use it?  
3. Time is a gift.  Your life is a gift.  You and I are managers of the time God has given us.  Will you and I choose to use the most valuable resource God has given us for his glory and for his purpose?
