Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional INVEST YOUR TIME IN SPIRITUAL THINGS ~ Saturday, July 5th 2014- Pastor Anita Oyakhilome See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15-16 Time is an asset, which you must learn to invest wisely. Investing your time wisely means investing your time in spiritual things. Moses had this on his mind when he prayed to the Lord to ...Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom (Psalms 90:12). Each day you live is an opportunity to accomplish so much, but the question is: How well do you schedule your day? When you wake up in the morning, dont just roll off your bed and stumble blindly into the day. Spend quality time first to fellowship with the Holy Spirit in prayer and in the Word. Ask Him to guide you as you schedule your activities for the day and prioritize your activities. Ask Him to help you save time, and youd discover how much youre able to accomplish for the Kingdom on a daily basis. Then, youll become more productive, effective and progressive. Remember that lifes got no extra time; so make every day count by doing only those things thatll advance the Kingdom of God, and improve your life. Therere people who have desired for a long time to read the entire Bible in one year but havent been able to achieve this. Some start but dont complete it. I usually dont have enough time, they lament, trying to exonerate themselves, but thats not a good enough excuse. Time is a fixed asset; its only twenty-four hours in one day; so we have to prioritize. If you were wishing to have more time to study Gods Word, the truth is, you may never get it. What you need is to create the time to study the Word, and schedule your prayer times as well, because your whole future depends on it. Proverbs 1:32 says, For the turning away of the simple shall slay them.... The simple are those who ignore truth; they ignore revelation and never take spiritual things seriously. They know its important to pray, but theyre too busy to do so. God calls them the simple, and He says their complacent attitude shall make them victims in life. Dont be like the simple, who would rather do other things than spend time on spiritual matters. Choose always to be spiritually alert so that when the evil day comes, itll meet you well prepared and youll know what to do. PRAYER Dear Father, I thank you for the guidance of your Spirit in my life, and the wisdom that you impart to me each day. Im continually yielded to the Lordship of your Word. Thus, my steps are ordered in victory, success, and excellence, in Jesus Name. Amen.
