Sometime its feel like there is too much time and sometimes it feels like there is not enough…
It is already 12/12/12, less than a month from Launch, 1 1/2 weeks of work and then I'm done. Tons of people to still meet up with and lots of events coming up…
What are my priorities? What am I glorifying with my time? Is it Jesus Christ or is it the things of this world?
A sermon on Haggai that one of the Pastor's at my Church preached a couple of weeks ago really got me thinking about time.
Haggai 1:7-11 NIV
"This is what the Lord Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways. Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build my house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored," says the Lord. "You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?" declares the Lord Almighty. "Beacause of my house, which remains in ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house. Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops. I called for a drought on the fields and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the olive oil and everything else the ground produces, on people and livestock, and on all the labor of your hands."?"
There is very little time left before I leave for the World Race…what am I doing with it?
A lot of people have been asking me, "Do you need anything?"
Material wise maybe a few more things won't hurt, but what I really need is to bring glory to God in these next couple of weeks by sharing about Him and what He is doing in my life.
I need to help build God's house and not just tend to my own because what good will it do if "I'm ready," but it doesn't bring God honor?
What I blog about, what I facebook post about, what I tweet about, what I instagram….all these things show my priorities and what I am glorifying and I realize I need to change. My life needs to be more Christ-centered and focused. Not that the things I do are "bad" per se, but rather where is my heart? What do my actions reflect? My thoughts and actions should be reflecting God working in me and preparing me spiritually for next year.
Dear Lord, please help me to use the time I have left here in the States wisely and in ways that will glorify your name always…
