The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33:4 (ESV)
Have you ever broken down how many seconds of life, that you have each day? In a 24-hour period, we have 86,400 seconds of life. Now that you know ask yourself this, what are you doing with this precious gift that God has given you? If you and I are blessed to wake up and read this message, we were given another chance at 86,400 seconds of life. What are you going to do? How are you going to live? What positive impact are you going to make on God’s world? What positive impact in another person’s life, as God’s Ambassador, are you going to undertake?
So many times, we use our seconds for our own selfish reasons and personal gains. God allows us to do this however, He also gives us free choice, to make a difference in this world, for Him.
Some may say I don’t know what to do or I don’t know how to use my talents. But if we look around, we can definitely see where help is needed. Look first to the needs of your own family members, church, or church members; to see where you can be of assistance.
Then there are programs for feeding and clothing the homeless. There are reading and teaching programs for all ages. Orphanages may need assistance with funds, clothes, or fun activities for the children. Programs for helping with the elderly. The elderly would love someone to come by and visit with them, read to them, or sing/play the piano. There are programs for helping single parents in your community. The list can go on and on, of things that can be done as God’s disciples.
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few…” Luke 10:2 (ESV)
So today is a new day. What are you going to do with your 86,400 seconds of life?
Blessings to All,
