Be intentional.5/15/2013 We have a very limited amount of time to do what we need to do.
Genesis starts by telling us about the creation of the world. How God created everything. He did this in an incredibly short amount of time. We see this as remarkable and we talk about it, we teach about it and we consider how it was even possible. Because He's God! We don't need to look further than that. But what I want to mention is the short amount of time that we have. Because at the end of every day in Genesis it ends with this, "And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day." "And evening passed and morning came, marking the second day." "And evening passed and morning came, marking the third day." This continues on through the sixth day... What is so important here is that every one of the days that God has ordained comes to an end. Every moment in our lives will end, every problem in our lives will come to an end and every wonderful experience will come to an end. God has created it this way. So be intentional. Be intentional with the minutes that God has given you. Be intentional with the hours God has given you. Be intentional with the days and the years God has given you. Be intentional with the LIFE that God has given you. Because it comes back to this, we have a very limited amount of time to do what we need to do - SERVE JESUS WITH THE TIME YOU DO HAVE.
