TIME & ENERGY

I've been thinking about the service we had a few months ago where our Pastor had a few people talk about something they were going to give to God or for his kingdom in this year of 2009. We as a church were challenged to give something of ourselves above and beyond what we had been doing for the kingdom of God. My husband chose to talk about TIME & ENERGY, and wanted our goal as a family to give more of our time & energy to God in 2009.

I think of this and wonder, where is the time and energy? I feel so far this year that I have had less time and energy to do anything. My time seems to diminish so quickly and I seem to be so tired to many days out of the week.

My point of this is in the midst of our lives, when we decide to do more for God there is always a fight. The moment we voice dedication to God a battle begins! Then there comes a time when we must decide to fight like never before, or to ease out of the fight by continuing to do our normal walk with God. Of course it is always easier to just back away from the fight. Change is never easy no matter what it is, but when we fight CHANGE is guaranteed to happen. I know if I take this thought and fight by giving more of my time to God, then God will bless me with the energy to be an effective part of His Kingdom. I want there to be a love and overflowing joy in everything I do for God. If there was something you dedicated to give more of to God in 2009, then put forth a fight to see it happen. Let us do more for God, and let it all be for his Glory!
