Christian Time Management - Matthew 6:33

This 1-minute devotion encourages you to make sure your "time budget" includes time to grow in the Lord. #BibleLoveNotes #Bible


Priorities determine the course of our lives, and daily choices determine priorities. For Christians, our first priority in life should be God (Matthew 6:33). 
 
Sadly, surveys show that 80% of Christians don't even read their Bible 5 minutes a day! If you faithfully spend time with God each day, you're in the minority. 

God knows we have work and family responsibilities, and He doesn't begrudge us times of leisure, but daily time in Scripture and prayer is essential for our spiritual growth and well-being.


It isn't always the bad choices that trip us up. Sometimes it's spending too much time on one good thing while neglecting another.

Psalm 90:12 says "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."


Why not take some time today to make a "time budget" that includes spiritual disciplines and allows time for divine appointments and God's special purposes for your life (Ephesians 2:10)!

  4. Amen. Very important. Apart from daily mass and morning prayers including the Rosary (meditation) and Litugy of the Hours, I make sure to make daily prayer throughout the day an important priority. We need to keep the channel open with God who loves us more than we love ourselves.
