Is Your Time Well Spent? • Bank Account: $86,400.00 deposited every morning • Remaining balance deleted every evening • Time: 86,400 seconds given to you every day • No roll over minutes • Time is traded for an experience (an activity) • Time can be spent, wasted, or budgeted • We can’t “make time” • “find time” • “save time”

  3. Philippians 3:13-14 • 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. • Yesterday is history. Tomorrow’s a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present. • Time is too precious to waste

  4. Appropriate Event to Time • Eccl. 3:1-8 “a time to every purpose” • The past is not for living in Eccl. 7:10 • The future is not for fearing Num. 14:1-4 • The present is not for wasting • The present is “doing time” • “I just don’t have time” (priorities) • Contentment is found in the “Now” not in the future or past: Phil. 4:11, Heb. 13:5

  5. Appropriate Event to Time • Eccl. 3:1-8 “a time to every purpose” • A time to worship (hour of prayer, evening sacrifice, Lord’s day, assembling of saints) • A time to work: John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. • A time to play (attention to children) • A time to die (Ps. 90:9-10, Eccl. 9:11-12)
