Be wise with the days you are given.

You must be wise with the days you are given and no longer be deceived by the values of the world's system. There's nothing wrong with goals and plans; but far too often, they lead to a self-determined lifestyle and away from the true Director of ALL plans; Proverbs 16:9:"In your heart you plan your course, but the Lord determines your steps". Your planning must be a direct response to God's leading; and once in place, your plans must remain in complete submission to His will; Jeremiah 10:23:  " Your life is not your own; it is not for you to direct your steps" When your goal is to be in the center of His will, the specifics of where you will be and what you will be doing are given to the Father for his Decisions.

You must not waste your limited time by chasing after things which vanish; Ephesians 5:15-16: "Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity" You must evaluate ALL your decisions and goals based on the overriding desire to glorify God in all you do, to rejoice in His many blessings, and to long for the time when you can worship before His throne for all eternity. Any other set of values must fade to nothing in comparison.

Every day you are handed a block of time and given the freedom of how it will be spent. This is a wonderful opportunity, but the clock continues to tick! Honor the Heavenly Father with your goals and plans and give careful thought to your ways.

You are only here today and gone tomorrow. It is more important than you can imagine to make the most of your days. Don’t squander your opportunities on foolish worldly pursuits. As short as life is, your opportunities to demonstrate love for your parents, grandparents, friends, and others you love is even shorter; don’t squander your opportunities seeking worldly pursuits! As short as life is, your chance to help yourself and then others is even shorter, for you can only come when God is calling. And while you still breathe He’s calling you, today is the day for Change don’t misuse this chance to get things right with Him.
