Time is a Crazy Thing

Where you spend your time, there your heart is also. I have often heard this phrase and not really taken the time to think on it. Where do I really spend most of my time? I realized that I spend much of my time on things of little importance, compared to the everlasting glory of my God. My school, my books, my shows, etc, are taking up my thoughts and time. When I think about the amount of time I spend with God, it is nowhere close to the amount of time I spend studying, reading, watching shows, etc.

    

What am I doing spending most of my time on things that have no eternal value. Don't give me wrong my activities aren't nessesarily bad and they can be used to glorify God. It becomes an issue when I place them higher than God on my time table. I am but a mist. How will I spend my short time on earth? Will it be to praise and glorify God? To make his name known? I want to give all the glory to my God. I am nothing without Him. He is life itself. I yearn to know Him more. God deserves my time. 

15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.     ~Epesians 5:15-17~

I sometimes have this overwhelming want for success, it drives me to want good grades in school and to make good impressions. It also takes a lot of my time. My view point on success is warped. Success should be defined by God not Man. Success is growing closer to God. What is it that drives me? Is it my own selfish desires? My selfish ambition, or is it Gods grace? Nothing compares to God's embrace. Nothing on earth is even close to His majesty. Nothing but God can truly satisfy. What is of great worth but the hope I have in Christ? 

Anthem - To Know You More 

Praise God for every word
Spoken unto earth
Through Jesus Christ
That we be sanctified
Now, we are not of the world
As You are not of the world
We rest our lives on Your word
That we’d be with You
Be with You

Pre-Chorus:
Incite every vacant heart
To be with You where You are

Chorus:
And this is eternal life
To know God through Jesus Christ
To know You more, to know You, whoa, whoa
To know You more, to know You, whoa, whoa

Verse 2:
You hold authority
Forever the high priest
With our certain death
Step in and intercede
Now, I am not my own man
As You were not Your own man
Subject to the plan of
Your Father, our Father

Bridge:
Glorify Your Son
Your Kingdom come
Glorify Your Son
Your Kingdom come
