Devotional
Have you ever thought about your life in terms of seconds? Every morning when you wake up, you’re given exactly 86,400 seconds to spend. That’s it. No more, no less. Unlike money in your bank account that rolls over to the next day, these seconds expire at midnight whether you use them wisely or waste them completely. This isn’t just about time management or productivity hacks. This is about recognizing that your time is literally your life. How you spend those 86,400 seconds each day is the absolute measure of how you’re living. When we grasp this truth, it changes everything. Suddenly, that hour spent scrolling mindlessly through social media feels different. Those moments lost to worry or anger take on new weight. God has entrusted you with this gift of time, and He’s watching how you steward it. Every second is an opportunity to glorify Him, to love others, to make a difference in this world. The beautiful thing is that you get a fresh start every morning – 86,400 brand new seconds to invest in what truly matters. Today, as you go about your routine, remember that each moment is precious and irreplaceable. You’re not just managing your schedule; you’re stewarding your very life. Make each second count, because once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.
Bible Verse
‘Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.’ – Ephesians 5:15-17
