Good day, brothers and sisters in Christ. Today, we will discuss an important aspect of our lives as evangelical Christians – time management. Time is a valuable resource that needs to be used wisely, and as Christians, we are called to prioritize God in our daily schedule. In this lesson, we will explore how we can effectively manage our time to give more glory to God.
Why should we prioritize God in our daily schedule?
First and foremost, God should be at the center of our lives. We are created to worship and honor Him, and this should reflect in how we spend our time. God desires us to have a closer relationship with Him, and prioritizing Him in our daily schedule can help us achieve this goal. Additionally, everything we do should bring glory to God. When we prioritize God, we are able to fulfill His purpose for our lives.
So, how can we prioritize God in our daily schedule?
1. Dedicate time for God each day through prayer and Bible reading
One way to prioritize God in our daily schedule is by setting aside dedicated time for Him each day. This can be done through prayer and Bible reading. It is essential to spend time talking to God and reading His Word daily, as this helps us grow in our relationship with Him. You can choose a specific time each day to pray and read your Bible and make it a priority to keep that time free from distractions.
2. Attend church regularly
Another way to prioritize God in your daily schedule is by attending church regularly. This not only shows our commitment to God, but it also helps us grow spiritually, as we hear the Word of God preached and fellowship with other believers. Make attending church a top priority in your weekly schedule, and avoid scheduling any other activities that may interfere with it.
3. Serve others for God’s glory
We are called to serve others, and this can be a way to prioritize God in our daily schedule. Find ways to serve others in your community or church, as this can help you grow in love for God and others. Serving can also help you manage your time effectively, as you will need to plan your schedule around your service activities, thus avoiding wasting time on non-essential activities.
4. Prioritize your workload according to God’s will
As Christians, we are called to work for God’s glory. However, it is important to prioritize our workloads according to God’s will. Avoid overcommitting yourself to work activities that take away time from more important things, such as prayer, Bible reading, and serving others. Always consult God through prayer before making any decisions about your workload.
In conclusion, prioritizing God in your daily schedule is essential for our spiritual growth as Christians. Dedicate time for God each day, attend church regularly, serve others, and prioritize your workload according to God’s will. May we always strive to manage our time effectively and give more glory to God. Let us pray.
Heavenly Father, we thank you for this lesson on time management. Help us to prioritize you in our daily schedules, and may we always seek your guidance and direction in all that we do. We pray for wisdom and understanding as we seek to manage our time effectively. May we always bring glory to your name. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
