Precious Liquid
Precious Liquid
This little bottle holds 24 ounces of the most expensive and precious liquid known to man. It is called TIME. Each day we are given a 'bottle of time', and we are in charge of what we do with it. It is ours to use however we want. The rule is, once poured out, it's gone, used up and you cannot reclaim it. Each ounce we pour from our bottle represents an hour of time. You can keep it, spend it, throw it away, share it, use it, but never retrieve it. Some pour six to eight ounces out for sleep and rest. Some pour eight to ten ounces out for their job. We pour an ounce out here and there and wonder where it all went. If you think of your time as liquid gold, precious and costly, you view the time poured out a bit differently. It is a precious gift, a present from the Lord.
Psalms 90:12 'So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.'
Have you ever poured out your 'liquid gold' on things that were not really that important? Have you ever felt that you wasted your time? We have all been in those shoes. Thank God, He gives us another chance, another day.
Lamentations 3:22-23 'Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning'
How do you spend your time? Do you use it liberally or sparingly? Each day contains 24 hours. God wants us to be wise with the precious gift of time He has given each of us.
Ephesians 5:15-17 'See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.'
My prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of time and another day to live. Please help me Lord, to use my time wisely. Show me the important things and help me to apply Your Word in my life. I pray that everyone who reads this will be strengthened and blessed.
In Jesus name, Amen.
