Exploring the world we live in through the lenses of the Bible, Psychology and general curiosity
122640 hours
I turn 14 today. I have had over 5110 days to live on this planet, 1,22,640 hours. I got to wondering how many of those hours I had really devoted to God. It would probably not be a very big number. It would be a number that I would be ashamed to compare to the number above. God is amazing, and though He has created amazing things to do on this planet, and though He knows we cannot devote all our time to Him, the amount of time that we actually give Him is not anywhere near where it should be. Psalm 96:9 tells us to worship Him, that means give Him some time. Psalm 105:1-3, Psalm 103:1, Proverbs 1:7, Psalm 9:1-2, Psalm 7:1, Psalm 81:1, and many, many, more verses tell us to praise God, and thank God- guess what? These all take time.
Time is precious, yes. So spend it on something that matters. All the time you spend playing video games could spent spent on something more valuable. It doesn’t even have to be a Bible study! God blessed us with family to spend time with, a beautiful planet to study and explore, and so, so much more. Time is something that is passing, so, so fast. Every second is a blessing, God is the one who blessed us with time, so why don’t we give a little back to Him?
Dear God,
You have blessed me with so much time, and a lot of it i spend doing things that don’t matter. You are amazing. You really are. And I’m sorry I haven’t spent much time with You lately. Please help me to spend more time with You.
Amen
What a great prayer! I pray often for God to forgive me for being distracted and draw me closer to HIM! Thank you for sharing and for being a good example!
