Stewarding Your Time
How you spend your hours is how you spend your life.
Time is the one thing you can't get back.
The big idea
You don't have a time problem. You have a priority problem.
What does “Stewarding Your Time” walk through?
Number Our Days
Psalm 90:12 · KJV
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
In plain English
Teach us to count our days — so we live them with wisdom.
Finite
You have a finite number of days. You don't know the count. That's not depressing — it's clarifying. The thing you put off forever is the thing you actually decided didn't matter. Use the days.
Redeem the Time
Ephesians 5:16 · KJV
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
In plain English
Make the most of the time — the days are short.
“How you spend your days is how you spend your life.”
Audit
Look at where your time actually went last week. Not where you wanted it to go — where it went. Phone time. Worry. Scrolling. Now compare to where you said it should go. The gap is the reform project.
Pray
Father, my hours are yours. Help me steward them like a person who knows they're finite. Show me what to drop and what to deepen.
Write it down
What's one thing eating your time that doesn't reflect what you say you value? Will you change it this week?
You finished: Stewarding Your Time
Time is the gift. Spend it like one. He's given you exactly enough.
