Why is it so hard to get stuff done sometimes? So hard to realize that time is precious and fleeting... That there will only ever be 24 hours in a day?
In college, and probably all of life, it seems like no one really cares about wasted time... It’s hard to stay on task and motivated in this type of environment. In a society that measures worth by material possessions does not care about minutes ticking away...
A good friend and teacher of mine says these are the seductions of life. The things that are easily tempting to be the motivation of our lives. The things that lead us from keeping our hearts centered on godly things. The things that are eating our time from the really important decisions.
It is so hard to not judge even your own worth by the amount of money in your bank account. But seeing time and money through the filter of Biblical truth there is a completely different perspective. A perspective where all things are fleeting and temporal. A perspective that aligns with the heart of God: money and time are just tools.
I want to be a “good tool wielder”. I want to use time and money to build the kingdom of God and not my own pursuits. Having them and using them wisely. Learning to see time and money in the lens of Biblical truth. Not chasing them.
