Positive Daily Inspiration – June 3, 2022 – TRY TO NOT WASTE TIME

“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:14

A young child is explaining to her family how well she is doing as she learns to tell time: “I know my “o’clocks” now, but I’m still having trouble with my “tills” and my “afters.”

A Pennsylvania consulting firm has released one of those studies examining the amount of time the average American will spend doing various things over the course of a lifetime. The research took more than a year. The results were not encouraging.

Consider:

Time spent opening junk mail: eight months

Time spent sitting at stoplights: six months

Time spent searching for misplaced objects: one year (personal note: I believe I have spent much more time than this looking for things that I misplaced)

Time spent trying to return phone calls to people who never seem to be in: two years

Time spent doing housework: four years

Time spent standing in line: five years

So, what do you do about all this wasted time? The answer is obvious. Combine human time wasters with prayer. Every time you open junk mail think about God instead. Every time you sit at a traffic light, pray to God. Every time you misplace an object, look less, pray more and you will find what you’re looking for in a fraction of the normal time. Every time you try to return phone calls to people who never seem to be in, pray for them instead and send them a spiritual blessing. When you do housework, think about God’s Divine order. When you stand in line, pray constantly.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is NOT the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.”

I believe that every hour is the critical, decisive hour. Do not put off till tomorrow your happiness and contentment. Jesus said to pray constantly. I agree because it keeps us focused on God and God’s help that is always with us.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, I am placing my life in Your care and trusting Your wisdom to guide and inspire me. My utmost trust is in You. I follow Your guidance because I know that Your wisdom is grounded in unconditional love for me and for all humankind.

Whether my decisions that I have to make today are large or small, I listen to You. When I follow Your guidance, I am ensuring that what happens to me is in my best interest and the best interests of those that I love.

Dear God, Your wisdom and understanding far surpasses my own, so I rely on You, now, and every moment of this day. I am so very grateful for Your loving presence, and I give thanks that we are one in spirit.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: “Today is the best day of my life, and therefore, I will not waste a moment of it.”

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “The 2 most important days of your life are the day you were born, and the day you found out why.”
Mark Twain
