About Time
“It’s About Time.”
Time is precious. Let’s pray that God will bless the time He gives us in our day.
“Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.” Hosea 10:12 Lord, forgive us today and cleanse our hearts from indulging in ease and pleasure, for it is time to seek You. Let all corrupt affections and lusts depart from us, and let us have a broken and contrite spirit which breaks the fallow ground of complacency. Lord, help us to abound in works that are right towards You and others. For we will seek You this day, and we will sow in righteousness, and reap Your mercy.
“My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.” Psalm 31:15 Lord, I dedicate my day (and time) to You, for it is in Yourhands. Lead and guide me into Your divine will and purpose today. Help me to avoid the enemies of my time. Give me wisdom, Lord, to steer clear of fruitless activities, time robbers, or issues that don’t concern me. Deliver me from those who wish to cause me harm or hinder my progress and cause me to waste time.
“Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.” Colossians 4:5 Lord, I pray that I may walk in wisdom toward those who have no wisdom. Help me not get caught up in fruitless situations, but help me to make the most of the opportunities that You give me today for Your Kingdom’s sake.
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” Psalm 37:23 Let my steps be directed by You, Lord. Let them be firmly established in walking in Your will today. And “Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me” (Psalm 119:133). For “I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart (Psalm 40:8).
“What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” Psalm 56:3 Lord, we praise You for that: when we are afraid, we can trust You and Your Word to speak to our hearts.
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Psalm 90:12 Help me, Oh Lord, to remember that time is short (and the day is burning) so that my work must count for You. Help me to use wisdom in my endeavors and not to waste time on things that don’t really matter.
“It is time for you, LORD, to work: for they have made void your law.” Psalm 119:126 Lord, I know that the timing is right for You to work in my life and the lives of my loved ones. Lord, continue to do this work that they might see it’s You doing these things.
“For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.” Jeremiah 51:33 Lord, do what You see fit to bring about a mighty revival in my home, in my church, in my family, and in my community. We thank You for Your mighty deeds that You’ve already done and what You’re going to do through me today. In Jesus Name, Amen.
