If each day on earth is considered a gift, then individuals have 3 choices. You can enjoy each moment, soaking in the world around you. Another option is investing your energy, talents and time into hobbies, interests or passions. Finally, the self-absorbed might follow the path of the prodigal son, wasting life savings to satisfy their fantasies.
While reflecting on my own life, I wish I could say that my time has been well spent. Unfortunately, transitioning to my new work schedule has resulted in countless unproductive hours. Although I hope to develop healthier patterns, I can’t replace the time that I’ve lost. In view of this, I need to hit the reset button to begin again, Lamentations 3:22-23.
When you go through patterns of disappointment, keep your head up, Galatians 6:9-10. With Christ’s help, Philippians 4:13, you can stop negative momentum. If you want to turn the pages of your past toward love, joy and peace, emulate the words of 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12. By doing this, you will find enjoyment while investing in kingdom activities during your days on the earth, Matthew 6:19-22.
