NO TIME I'M BUSY.

No time I’m busy





Dear friends, we live in the busy world. Today no time is a style word used by the little to the bigger people. No time ‘word’ comes from all the people whether they are busy or not. You will be happy if you say no time to TV, CELL PHONE, LAPTOP, FACE BOOK, and SMS. Then the parents will spend time with the family and children. One day a friend of mine was ready to go for bank exams at 10 am but he was searching his pen outside the garden where he lost. The time was fast going he was still searching his pen; I had scolded him to buy a new one and go the bank exam in right time to save his future. He acted according to the advice so now he is working in the bank as officer.
Dear friends our Lord Jesus Christ lived in this world three and a half years only but he achieved great plan of salvation to the mankind; without spending His time in waste. Today people are using the word “no time, I’m busy” to loose bible reading, prayer time, and church services. Today people are spending time in useless things and plans. So they lose the peace of mind and become tension with matter less matters. They are not satisfied, but they searching for infinite things that won’t satisfy them. Their hearts and minds filled with worries and anxieties; that leads them to forget God and His fellowship. So they have no time to seek God and his fellowship. Now they are busy for nothing.
There are 168 hours in each week. Fifty six of them we spend in sleep. Of the remaining 112 hours, we devote 48 to labor. This leaves 64 hours, of which let us assign 12 hours for our daily meals…is it too much to say that God requires a tithe of his people’s free time? One tenth of 52 hours is 5.2 hours. How much of this tithe of time do we devote to strictly religious uses? If one allowed an hour for church and an hour for a Bible reading (study) or prayer meeting each week, he or she would still have 192 minutes a week- enough for nearly a half hour each day in prayer and bible reading. Such a person would still have more than 45 hours a week for life’s chores and personal fun!” more often we give the old excuses, “no time, I’m very busy” or I have too little time.” But the real problem is too little planning of the time we have.
1.      TIME MANAGEMENT BY FULFILLING THE PURPOSE OF GOD: - for we are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do – Eph 2:20. God has made each and every one of us for a reason. God gives us time, gifts and other resources according to our abilities and he expects us to invest them wisely until he returns. We are responsible to use well what God has given us. We are to use our time, talents and treasures diligently in order to serve God completely in whatever we do. It means doing our daily work out of love for God.
2.      TIME MANAGEMENT BY SUBMITTING TO HEAVENLY POTTER: - Yet, o Lord, you are our father. We are the clay, you are potter, and we are the work of your hand - IS 64:8. OUR LOVING God is the heavenly potter who molds our lives. Just as the clay is useless by itself but becomes a useful vessel when it yields itself to the potter. We are incapable of molding our lives. When we surrender ourselves, the body, mind and spirit in his divine hands, he molds us as useful vessels of honor and as vessels of worthy of his glory. When things are going well, we feel elated. When hardships come, we sink into depression. But true joy transcends the rolling waves of circumstances. Joy comes from a consistent relationship with Jesus Christ. Only through prayer and obedience of the word of God, our mind gets renewed and transformed into the likeness of Christ. Then only we can use the time in a right way and useful way.
3.      SOLOMON’S TIME MANAGEMENT: - To everything are a reason, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.  God’s favor is the one who discussed the ultimate emptiness of all that this world has to offer. He searched for satisfaction almost as though he was conducting a scientific experience. Through this process he discovered that without God is a long and fruitless search for enjoyment and fulfillment. What profit has he that work in that wherein he labors? God has given to the children of man to be busy with it. God has made everything beautiful in its time. Also he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
4.      Dear friends Mr THOMAS ALVA EDISON said that I could invent new things in this world, because I had worked hard without looking the clock. People who utilize the 24 hours in a planned right way would live like kings, but one who loses the time in laziness live like beggars.  We know that how we spend our times and wasting them good for nothing. King David had many works to do in everyday duty, but he set apart time for early hours of worshiping the Lord God and meditating God’s word day and night.
