Bible Reading: Eph. 5: 15 - 20
Topic: Managing Time
Today's passage urges us
to use time wisely because the days are evil (vs. 15, 16)
To be able to use time
wisely we need Jesus " .... Who gave
Himself for our sins that He might deliver us from this present evil age
..." (Gal. 1: 4)
Here are some tips to help
us manage time
a. Study the Gospels to see how Jesus used His time and learn
from Him
b. Pray and ask God to show you how to establish your priorities
in life. Make a list of those priorities in the order of importance asking for
God's Wisdom as you do so
c. Learn to plan ahead, asking God to show you what He wants you
to accomplish in life
d. Draw up your schedules and follow them as closely as possible,
relying on Him Who works in you to will and to act according to His good
purposes (Phil. 2: 13)
e. Learn how to make the most of your time, accomplishing as much
as you can with each activity and prayerfully doing it in the best possible way
f. Ensure that all you do is to the best of your ability, not
wasting any time
g. Learn to say "NO" to things that are not
contributory
Prayer
Father I ask for grace to
manage my time well in Jesus Name, Amen.
Memory Verse Eph. 5: 15, 16
"See then that ye
walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise. Redeeming the time, because the
days are evil."
