Your Time

These nine are from a site called Becoming Minimalist. Whole lotta truth packed in here. I’d like to share one every other day or so with you, filtered through Scripture, for your consideration and application —

5. Guard Your Time.
Not every pursuit in life deserves your energy. It is important for each of us to become more aware of what is truly worth the hours of our one, short, important life.

Those who have crafted a life they love have not done so by saying “yes” to every opportunity or invitation in their inbox. They have done so by guarding their time ruthlessly for the things that matter most and by learning to say “no” graciously to the others.

— Teach us to number our days, that we may present to You a heart of wisdom. (Psalm 90:12)

Don’t waste your time on useless work, mere busywork. It’s a scandal when people waste their lives. (Ephesians 5:15,16)
