Counsel #1 — The Gift Of Time

Picture: Counsel #1 — The Gift Of Time CLi 40.1

Time management may be the most important life skill that will help you succeed in your work and study, and also in your Christian life!^[36] CLi 40.2

Why then do so many fail miserably at time management, wasting away minutes and hours that can never be redeemed? If you are one of those who need a re-set for how you use your time, the Bible offers help and hope! CLi 40.3

“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be foolish but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Ephesians 5:15-17 ESV CLi 40.4

“The value of time is beyond computation. Christ regarded every moment as precious, and it is thus that we should regard it. Life is too short to be trifled away. We have but a few days of probation in which to prepare for eternity. We have no time to waste, no time to devote to selfish pleasure, no time for the indulgence of sin.” Ellen G. White, Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 342 CLi 40.5
