The Currency Of Time

Time…it is a bigger word than any of us realize. I was driving home this morning from dropping something off and I saw a sign that said, “Make the most of today, for it will never happen again.”

Time is always moving forward and never looking back. We as people have been placed in an earth realm that is governed by time. We have times we regret, times we cherish, times we missed and times we will never forget. Everyone has the same amount of time in a day, but not everyone uses their currency called time the same way.

The challenge with time is we cannot blame anyone else for what we chose to do with our time. We can explain ourselves, we can get mad at others or ourselves, but the truth is, time is a currency and we choose how we spend it everyday.

On March 24, 1994 in a Sunday night service in Smithton, MO, the people in attendance at that time, witnessed the power of God in a way that changed their lives forever. Those in that first service, were eye witnesses to what God did in what they thought was going to be an ordinary Sunday night service, but God had other plans.

There are moments in time when God chooses to do something with a group of people. We are not privy to it being on the calendar, it is spontaneous to us, but planned by God Himself. Those times happen and if we miss them we wished we had been there.

Friends, the apostles of Jesus, who began as disciples, said yes, when this rabbi, who was the Messiah, invited them to come follow Him. Everyone of them dropped what they were doing and followed immediately. This was the best decision of their lives in ways they could not see at the time.

I pray you do not miss moments in time where God comes down in a room of people and does creative miracles. I pray you spend your time on what has eternal value. I pray you prioritize what you value, so you are in the right place at the right time, for the kingdom of God is breaking into rooms in ways I have not seen since those days in Smithton, MO. It’s time!!!!
