Every year people come up with how the New Year is going to bring change and create new opportunities or they are going to do things differently. Then they get to New Years Eve of the same year and realize once again they did not get to the things they had planned. How is it we can go through the whole year and not find the time to do the things that God has led us to do?
Those who obey him will not be punished. Those who are wise will find a time and a way to do what is right, Ecclesiastes 8:5
When it comes down to it we have to look how we are using our time. Are we being useful with the 24 hours we are given each day? Even though 2011 had a lot of changes and progress as it came to an end I realized how much time I wasted away on things that were not even important or that got me closer to God. I want to be able to look at 2012 and say wow I really learned how to use the time God gave me and be productive. I do not think we should work ourselves to the bone but what I think is if we get so busy in our lives we can miss it. Miss life miss moments miss God. Keeping our time in check is a great way to start and finish 2012. Lets be Kingdom minded, use what we have and believe in what we have yet to see. So use the time you do have free and know God will reward you. Of course we have time to read the Word of God and prayer it should be the other stuff we do not have time for.
Luke 12:31-32 NLT
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need. “So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.
There it is the key to 2012 mindset to actually following through on the things that we believe 2012 to hold. "Seek the Kingdom of God above ALL else". So even if we do run out of time it should not be the things of God that we have to put off until tomorrow because there is no day that is promised but today.
