Managing God's Time

How are you doing? Stressed? Frustrated? Everyone demands your presence: wife, husband, children, boss, pastor? Will it ever end? No, it won't... but don't despair! Each person has the same challenge to different degrees. But most of all, each of us has access to the only source that will help us deal effectively with this challenge!

Jesus, the living God has given us 24 hours daily. He allows each person who chooses, to call on Him for help ... and He helps! Isn't this great news? Here is a brief except from Managing God's Time: Personal Effectiveness Improvement. Ask the Lord to tell you if you could benefit from reading this book.

Excerpts of Preface of Managing God's Time*

Would you like to remove these phrases and their harmful effects from your vocabulary and your life? Are you stuck in a rut? Do you have a passion to do something but are scared to try?

Today, are you the person God wants you to be? Jesus can remove these negative and gloomy phrases, lift you out of the pothole, and help you to realize your full potential!

Get a stopwatch or a watch with a second hand, a pen, and a sheet of paper for a quick experiment: When I say go, start to manage the next five minutes: Go!

I guess you see where I am going. You can't manage time! This is not a concept our language and culture promote. We seem more comfortable with deflection speech, like, My shirt is too small, instead of, I have gained weight, or, I have no time, instead of, I have not managed my priorities well.

We over commit ourselves, we under-deliver, and we blame a lack of time! Generally, we don't see the central issue: lack of planning and execution - certainly not a lack of time!

Particularly in this era of political correctness, we need a mindset-shift in order to begin taking responsibility for our actions and inactions. Accepting the level playing field of twenty-four hours in each day is a first and vital step on this pathway toward a new attitude. That may appear simple, but it is extremely difficult to implement any new habit consistently.

The next step on the journey is accepting who we are and not who others want us to become. We don't have to look like that person with the perfect figure in the infomercial trying to convince us to buy the stuff she is selling! God loves you and me as we are! Many biblical stories illustrate this truth, which was as true in antiquity as it is today.
