“Time"

Mark 6:30-31

“Jesus called his twelve disciples together…” Matthew 10:1a

“…when he was alone with his disciples, he explained everything to them.” Mark 4:34b

“Jesus left the crowds to pray alone. Only his disciples were with him…” Luke 9:18

How to Become Time Strategic:

(1) Time is limited; that’s why it is so precious.

Psalm 39:4, “Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.”

 Ephesians 5:15-16, “So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.”

(2) Time flies; you are the pilot.

v31a, “Jesus said, ‘Let’s go off by ourselves…’”

 Psalm 39:6, “We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing.”

 Hebrews 10:25, “Let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another…”

(3) Time is yours; make it behave!

Time principle: “If it’s not on your calendar, it’s not important.”

 v31, “…they didn’t even have time to eat.”

 Galatians 6:9, So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

(4) Time is Life; enjoy it.

v32, “So they left by boat for a quiet place, where they could be alone.”

 Psalm 118:24 “This is the day the Lord has made, and I will rejoice in it.”

 Ecclesiastes 11:9, 12:1; “Young people, it’s wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do… Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old…”

Final Thought: Today is the TIME to surrender your most precious GIFT to the Lord. Give Him your time. He gives you eternity.
