a reminder

God is specific and intentional. When He gave each day 24 hours, it was meant to be enough for us to do His work and to rest. If we find ourselves complaining that there's just not enough time, there must be something we are doing that He doesn't expect or want us to do. We procrastinate, allow other things to consume our precious time, and we neglect our work, our sleep, our mental state. 24 hours is enough. If we feel otherwise, check and see what is consuming our time. What are we not supposed to be doing right now yet we're giving it our time? Begin each day with prayer, close each day with prayer. It is the most powerful tool we have the privilege of using. We have a mighty God who knows our strengths and weaknesses and the work we have to complete. In whatever circumstance, be it in school, work, or army, bring God into the picture. Let God be the picture, the centre of it all. And we will learn to look above the waves and rest in His embrace.
