Welcome to Thankful Thursday: His Encouragement. I am blessed to be part of a group of bloggers who’ll be sharing a bit of encouragement through Scripture verses. I hope this post blesses you as you finish the week and that you find peace, strength, and comfort in the Lord.
Over the years, and especially the last few months, I’ve come to realize just how true this verse is. Life if temporary. Except for God, none of us know how much time we have left here on earth. It’s important to remember that and live for the moment. Don’t wait for “something” to happen before you tell your friends and family how much they mean to you or before you make a leap of faith.
Benjamin Franklin said, “Do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.” Time, like life, is a gift from the Lord. Be sure to make the most of each second.
This verse is a reminder to ask God to teach us to make our days worthwhile. He will show us how best to invest our precious moments. Ask God to help you see what purpose He has for you. Then, live with a sense of purpose.
Time doesn’t have the same meaning to God that it has for us. A year is a long time to us, but it’s just a blink to Him. Our days are an undeserved gift from the Lord.
We’re not guaranteed tomorrow. Learn to count each day, make the most of every moment, and seek the Lord’s wisdom on how best to invest the time you have here on earth.
Time is a gift of God, and we never know when we will run out of it. Thank you for this important reminder!
You’re very welcome, Jacquelyn.
Excellent post, and a fantastic reminder to make the most out of each moment. I especially love that you say to go to God to ask what our specific purpose is so we waste none of our time here on Earth. Thank you!
You’re very welcome, Nicole. It’s a reminder I need when I start to get overwhelmed with the “little things” each day. I need God’s wisdom on where best to keep my focus.
Thank you, Joe. Yes, it’s easily forgotten. It’s unfortunate that it usually takes a tragedy of some sort to help us remember this precious gift.
Have a blessed day!
Yes! Time is precious!
It sure is.
Have a blessed day!
