#108 THINK
Just the word 'Think'
Makes me want to stop everything
And do exactly that
Think
If more time were spent thinking
Before moving forward
I have a hunch that time
Would be used more wisely
Getting your ducks in a row
So to speak
Is not a foolish thing to do
It is for a purpose
It helps you
And others too
Organizing effectively
Is a timesaver
When you value time
You will succeed far more
Than someone
With complete disregard
You decide which category
Fits you perfectly
As for me the desire to succeed
Resulted in being more time conscious
Recently I saw someone
First time in five years
That five years flew by
It was a turning point moment
When five years can pass that quickly
I knew guarding my time was not an option
Setting new perimeters, boundaries
Needed to be implemented
It is one thing for someone else
To have no regard for the value of time
It is another thing if I do so
After this rude awakening, so to speak
It was a thorn moment that caused pain
Brought me out of denial
Because the truth was bright
No retreating, not again
Make my life count Lord
Is what I want to do
My heart aches for those in pain
So little time, so few laborers
Before 5 years passes by again
I pray by reading this right now
You will be awakened as well
To value and use your time wisely
Time can not be stockpiled
When it is gone it is gone forever
Think…think…think
And ask the Holy Spirit to help you
Plan your day, prophesy to your day
Make every day count in some special way
As in Christ you learn, and teach others
Life is not all play
Jesus fulfilled his responsibility
As His disciples we have responsibilities too
And we are accountable for every second
We've been given so take time to 'think'
Wasted time is costly
Time is currency
How you use it
Is your decision
Psalm 139:17 tells us clearly
God thinks about you and I
If He takes time to think
I reckon we need to also
I know one lady
That has a 'Thinking Chair"
That is where she sits to think
Feel free to do the same
You just may be inspired to sit
More often than you think
Yet results of more thinking
Will not be time wasted
Thinking more will result eventually
In less time simply sitting
Let 'Thinking' be your difference
And see what God will do
He's our example and God thinks
So let's raise the bar right now
And set a specific time daily
To do exactly that
