Time Change

There never seems to be enough time. The thing is . . . we are given a certain amount of time to live.  In that time we are to live purposefully.  If we are honest, most of us have wasted a significant amount of time. 

So. What would happen if we knew we only had a short time to live . . . thirty days?

What would be different?

What would be the same?

We are told to:  Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. (Colossians 3:2)

While it might seem like a challenge . . . setting our mind on things above . . . is a matter of how to see what more God has . . . to live beyond a limited mind-set.   

 At times this could seem down-right impossible; however, the Spirit of God will direct  the way to set the mind on things above.   We are not left on our own but given the power to live a mind set on God: So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty (Zechariah 4:6).

When you get down to it . . . a mind set on things above changes every minute . . .  giving our attention to God changes how we live . . . why we live . . . and the way we live.

So.  Time, a marker of our life on earth, changes when we pay attention to God.

Change the time you have.

Live purposefully.

Refuse to waste time.

Pay attention to God.

There is so much more to experience when we set our mind on things above.

Learning with you to KICK START the day . . .  paying attention to God.
