Where Do You Spend Your Time?
It might be of interest to you to grab a pencil and write out where you have spent the last l168 hours given to you by God, this week. How much time was spent in prayer? How much time was spent in front of the Television? How much time was spent reading the Bible? How much time did you spend reading the newspaper and magazines? How much time did you spend witnessing or ministering to those in need? How much time did you spend in front of the mirror pampering yourself each morning? Pretty convicting? Well, here is a breakdown of where others spend their time over the span of their life.
20 Years Sleeping 20 years Working
6 Years Eating 7 Years Playing
5 Years Getting Dressed 1 Year on the Telephone
5 Years Watching TV 5 Months Tying Your Shoes
2 ½ Years Miscellaneous 3 Years Waiting for Someone
1 ½ Years in Church
Time is one of the most precious commodities given to man by God. It cannot be purchased, stored, or put on pause. Once this day is gone, it will never return. Let us never have to regret the hours that we might have devoted to Him and His service. Let us not squander the precious gift of time on our own selfish interests.
