Time is precious.  It is one of the most valuable resources on Earth and once it is gone you cannot get it back.  Yet so often it seems as if it is taken for granted.  Society as a whole has lost the value of time and this is including Christians.  The world is trying to capture us with things that are seemingly unimportant to occupy and distract us from the work that God has called us to do.   I feel like so often our schedules are so busy between school, work, or other activities that our mindset for the day is just to get through it.  I find myself doing this from time to time and I have come to the realization that it is totally wrong. 

1 Corinthians 10:31 says, “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 

God has a plan for each and every one of us for every day.  He has us in the situations we are in for a reason and as Christians it is our responsibility to bring glory to him with every aspect of our lives.  This is not an easy task, but the time to get determined and do it is NOW! 
Isaiah 40:8 says, “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the Word of God shall stand forever. 

Our lives are just a short time (but a vapor compared to eternity), but God’s Word and what we do for him will last for eternity.  No man knows what tomorrow holds.  Not a single one of us is guaranteed another day.  If today was your last day on Earth and you stood before God would you be content with how you served him on this Earth?  If not today is the day to change that because we don’t know how much time we have left.  I don’t want to get to the end of my life and have to look back and wonder what if I had given my all for the cause of Christ, because then it is too late. I also believe it is very important to never underestimate the value of a single day.  The world can change in just one day.  Christ’s birth, death on the cross, and Resurrection are examples of three days that change the world forever.  On the DAY Jesus rose from the dead he changed the course of mankind forever.  He gave every individual form the beginning of time to the end of time freedom from sin, a hope for tomorrow, and most importantly eternal life for all who believed. Just like Christ did, we as Christians can still have a major impact on the world today.  It only takes one day for a person to get saved and when that person gets saved not only does it change their life, but it also changes where they will spend eternity.  So as Christians it is time for us to start living and proclaiming the gospel urgently.  NOW is the time to live with spiritual tenacity because it may be the only time that we have.  Just think God created the whole entire Earth in just 7 days! Imagine what he could do with your whole life if you would just place it in his hands. I pray that TODAY every Christians will step up and live up to the greatness that God has given them.  DON’T WAIT BECAUSE IF YOU DO IT MAY BE TOO LATE!

May God Bless and do a work in each and every one of your lives,
