Sound familiar? I feel like there is not enough time in a day. Figuring out how to balance my time has become an obstacle. Even more so since getting married and taking on new responsibilities. I must say I was getting a little overwhelmed. But while doing some Bible study in my Woman's Study Bible I found some articles on time management which lead me to Scriptures on how God wants us to budget our time.
Taking a lesson from the Jewish is a great start. They actually start their day in the evening when the home begins to rest. After dinner and the kitchen is clean I can take a few moments to get my head right, think about what I would like to do the next day and pray for the Lord to lead me to accomplish the things that are most important to Him and that His will be done (Prov. 3:5-6). I also must make it known to my family that there are things that are important to me to get done (Roma. 12:2) and assure them that their needs are included (Col. 4:5-6). Above all however what is top priority is that all is done to glorify God (Prov. 16:3).
Using my time wisely is key. Fortunately I have a job where I am able to utilize down time to spend studying my Bible, and working on posts and articles. I will also try to get in the practice of getting up when my husband leaves for work. I have an hour or so where I could maybe work on my blog, check some e-mails, and do some other projects.
When it's God's will, there will most certainly be a way. Instead of getting stressed and overwhelmed I'll use the lessons learned from the Perfect Planner on how to budget my time.
*Thank you Lord for showing me how to use the time You gifted me with wisely.*
