Stop Gambling Your Future: Redeem Your Time Today
There will always be distractions in life because we know from scripture that the agenda of the enemy is to steal, kill and destroy.Procrastination is a time stealer, and it simply means to put off intentionally doing something that should be done. I have been guilty of this often, and I have missed many wonderful opportunities, but I have seen the results when I don’t put things off as well. Reading about where we spend our time the last few days has been a real eye opener for me because I realize every day we are gambling away our future with the notion we still have lots of time while being distracted by unimportant things like social media, television, sports, text messages and the list can go on. Today I want to encourage you to look at what you are investing your time in and ask yourself, "What am I putting off intentionally that could hurt my future that I should be doing right now?" Once you have identified it simply decide not to put it off anymore; redeem your time!“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?”Matthew 16:26 Be Nice. Grace Wins.

Two Masters
The pursuit of more can quietly crowd God out of our lives. If money can suffocate human relationships, how much more might it hamper our relationship with God? You cannot serve two masters.

Keeping Him at Bay
68 rounds in, and the fear still shows up. Knowing my life is in God's hands doesn't erase the worry. But perfect love casts out fear, one more time, every time it creeps back in.
