All Accounted For


Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400.
It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course?

Each of us has been given such a bank. It's name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest in a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against "tomorrow." You must live in the present on today's deposits.

“God will repay each person according to what they have done.”
(Romans 2:6)

Our God gives us time, gifts, talents and resources that we are called to invest daily. To get the utmost return on our investment we need to be investing that time in Kingdom purposes where our return and rewards are eternal!

“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.”
(Matthew 6:20)

The clock is running!!! You were created with a mighty plan and purpose. Treasure every moment that you have...

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Today is a gift. That's why its called the present...what are you doing with all He has given you?
