Devotional: Time Treasures: Stewarding Every Moment
Scripture Reading:
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12 (NIV)
Reflection:
Time is one of the greatest gifts given to us by God. Yet, it often slips through our fingers like grains of sand, unnoticed and unappreciated. In our fast-paced world, we can become so consumed with our tasks that we forget to honor the moments that truly matter. As stewards of our time, we are called to recognize the divine purpose in every minute.
In Psalm 90:12, the psalmist implores God to help us understand the fleeting nature of our days. When we take the time to reflect on this, we begin to grasp that each moment carries weight and significance. Every tick of the clock is an opportunity to glorify God, serve others, and grow in our faith.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the precious gift of time. Help me to steward each moment wisely, recognizing its potential to impact my life and the lives of those around me. Teach me to embrace the present, to cherish simplicity, and to find joy in the mundane. May I prioritize what truly matters—my relationship with You and my service to others. Amen.
Action Steps:
-
Pause Today: Take a moment to be still, breathe deeply, and reflect on how you’ve spent your time this week. Are there moments that felt wasted, or did you find God in your busyness?
-
Prioritize Relationships: Reach out to a friend or family member you’ve been meaning to connect with. Use this time to encourage and uplift one another.
-
Start a Gratitude Journal: Each evening, write down three moments from your day that you are grateful for. This practice can help you recognize the treasure of time and its moments.
Closing Thought:
In every minute lies an opportunity to encounter God and live fully. Let us be intentional about our time, for in stewarding these precious moments, we can unveil the richness of God’s purpose in our lives. Embrace each day, for it is sacred.
