Use of time?

We all have 24 hrs in a day, right? Have you ever sat down and thought about how you use that time every day? We need to especially when we know why we are on this earth in the first place….to worship God, to glorify His name, and to do His work are our main priorities. Of course we also have to work, pay bills, take care of our kids, and other duties.

What does God’s Word say about use of time?

Colossians 4:5
5 Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
3 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
2 
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3 
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

James 4:14
14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

Ephesians 5:16
16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.

John 17:4
4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.

That last verse really hits home….are we using the time to accomplish all that God has given us to do???? Think on that for a while today!
