Devotion #4
Posted on January 4th, 2008 in General |
The time choice for us as a family to meet for #4 was either 5:00 a.m. (when I am usually leaving the house) or 10:15 p.m. when the last of us (in this case Kristen and Kathryn) got home. I had very few votes for 5:00 a.m. so we went with 10:15. I was happy to see that everyone was ready with their time sheet for the last 24 hours. That was from devotion #3 where we were going to make an account of all that we did to find out where we might be wasting time. We didnt review them because the excercise had already had its effect. When you measure what you are doing, you waste less time because you are aware of the minutes and the tasks, plus you fear that in being accountable you will be found to be a time waster. So i didnt even ask to see them.
Devotion #4 taught us to measure our days and understand our own fragile lives. We determined that there was enough time between now and next Thursday to find a person that does not know Jesus Christ and tell them about Him. We also determined that there was enough time between now and Sunday for us to invite a new person to church. Measuing our days and knowing our end will help us walk wisely.
Do not miss out on Stewardship month.
Do not even think about missing our revival. January 13-17th. Regular service times on Sunday, 7:15 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
