Bible Verse of The Day – 2-28-19

Ecclesiastes 3:6 (NKJV) 6 A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away…

Time is precious. If we feel we are running out of time and are always weighed down with pressure, deadlines, and appointments, it may be that time to eliminate some things. Time to de-clutter our schedule, our plans and to eliminate our time with certain people, etc.

Most of the time we put ourselves in these predicaments. We think we are some sort of super hero. That bubble has to pop if we want to really be available for what God has for us.

We can not do it all on our own. We need Him to guide our steps and protect our time from bloodsuckers; the things or the people that like to suck the life out of us and then leave us drained.

Do we have a few of those on us that we need to remove?

If we don’t throw off some things, we will become stagnant, tired and gasping for air.

That is not how God wants His children functioning.

Our strength comes from the joy of the Lord. But where is our strength today? It’s not there.

Why? Because we run around taking care of the bloodsuckers, and the time we have left is spent on the things we were supposed to get done before they interrupted us.

It’s time to stop the rat race and sit at the feet of Jesus and talk with Him.

God knows how tired we are, how worn and how used we are feeling. But we must make the effort to stop it and get with Him. There comes a time to say, “NO more.” Get rid of that which is holding us back, slowing us down, and sucking every ounce of our energy up.
