Good morning.
Paul devoted his time and energy to instructing fellow believers and praying for them. He recognized the value of time spent encouraging Christians to do everything as if for the Lord (Colossians 3:23). This is important to remember, even when our task seems unrelated to the church. Kingdom work isn’t just for missionaries and pastors. God calls us all to different fields and assignments.
Paul also knew that the Christian life encompasses struggles. And he was realistic about his own imperfections .This meant that to make the best use of his time, he needed to persevere, keep faith in God’s promises, and rely on divine power for victory. At the end of his life, Paul was able to say, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7).
Life is a gift. Ask God to help you spend your time on what matters. Every one of us has a limited number of days on this earth. How will you utilize your time so you can look back and, with Paul, confidently say that you ended well?
Let's go and live our lives for Him.
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
