Today’s Verse:
"What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" - Matthew 16:26
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
Time is valuable. For this reason, many people use their lives, trying to accomplish as much as possible, either at work or in personal. They always rush through things and they always fight for the best... It is always good to setup quality standards for our lives but, do we have to go to the extremes?
There is a book called "What to Do Between Birth and Death". Charles Spezzano explained how we have actually paid for things in terms of time, not money. Think about it, if we want a car, we may spend years in working and saving up for it, so it is really "our time" that we used to pay off the car, the gadget or the flat we wanted. Father, Help us to see what is worth spending our lives on each day and help us to manage our time wisely. Surely, we all need a balanced life between work and fun.
Scott Peck said, "Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it." Father, we may feel lost in life, sometimes, we don't even know how to value our time and just let it slipped through our fingers. Father, we are all precious to You, teach and lead us to use our time in a sensible way, let us treasure our everyday as You treasure us, love us, cherish us and care about us.
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
