You know, i work some long hours. I get up at 3am work 5 to 5 most days 6 days a week. Tonight I was sitting here watching a movie while playing a game on my phone. My relax time, my downtime and then i realized "my time?" It's God's time. What am I doing for Him? To further His Work?
I need my job and the money it brings, I tithe and give to missions, bills to pay etc.
But What am I doing for Him? Going to church, tithing, missions? That's my responsibility, that's every Christian's duty.
What am I doing for Him? What extra am I doing? How am I serving? How am I furthering His work, fulfilling His Will?
Perhaps a better question is:
What am I not doing?
These are weighty matters. We are talking about eternity here. Not just mine but the poor lost soul I am not reaching out too because I am too busy or on my "me" time.
These are the hours I shall have to answer for. These are the wasted days I shall regret when I am standing before Jesus come judgement day.
What am I not doing? That's a very big question. And the answer is even bigger
It's bigger because that answer, an open, honest, objective answer from most people is: ALOT.
The time I spend every night in "me" time which by the way is another way of saying doing nothing, is time I will never get back. People are dying all around me and I need my "me" time.
2 Corinthians 6:1-3King James Version (KJV)
6 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
If this is our perspective "me time" then we have received the Grace of God in vain. We have accepted His mercy, His Grace, His Salvation from the pit of Hell and turned around sat down and failed to impart it unto our brethren. We are an offence to the world because we are not sharing His Word.
We shall give account of that, we shall be held responsible for doing nothing.
Work is necessary in today's world. If you don't work you don't eat. But what do you do with the time not at work?
What are you not doing? What is your priority? "Me time" or His time?
