Do you ever wonder how some people are able to seemly move the earth and moon in just a few hours? It takes you three hours to get to the store and return, to purchase a loaf of bread. The store is only half mile away, you have shopped there for years, and is aware of the location of all categories in the store.

Yes, I make the same excuses. The traffic was bad and someone pulled out in front of me and I almost had a wreck. There was a long line at the checkout counter, and there was only one register in use.

Yet, I can get to a doctor’s appointment ten miles away, far more traffic and erratic drivers, with minutes to spare. Why, the office reminds me that I 285 has ongoing construction, there is an out of pocket $75.00 fee for missing appointments, and I have to reschedule if I am late.  

I have watched for years; my wife demolishes a room to rearrange it. I cringe at the sight of the unorganized mess. A couple of hours later it looks marvelous. I used to criticize her for making a mess. However, in my neatness I come up short in my accomplishments.

There are scriptures about making the most of each day. As we explore these verses, let us reflect on how we can honor God with our time. The Bible offers us wisdom and insight on how to embrace each day fully, encouraging us to live intentionally and purposefully.

Many Christians may struggle to find direction in their daily lives and might wonder how to better use their time. By meditating on God’s Word and applying these truths, we can cultivate a deeper relationship with Him and a more meaningful approach to our lives.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord our God you are serving.” – Colossians 3:23-24

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” – Proverbs 16:3 “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” – Ephesians 5:15-16
