This gonna be brief..
It occurred to me today that I waste a lot of time. Sometimes I may be where I'm supposed to be, but I'm not maximizing that experience. Being in the right place is only half the battle; I've also gotta be doing the right thing while I'm there.
Examples:
Going to church, but being mentally preoccupied with something else and not receiving what is being taught.
Going to class, but not paying attention, asking questions, or coming prepared.
Being at work, but not giving it my all and learning all that I can.
Going to the gym, but not pressing through the workout.
Praying, but not leaving the issue in God's hands.
God has commanded us to be good stewards over the resources to which He has entrusted us. Time is the most precious of those because we can't get it back. I challenge myself to be more conscious of my stewardship over my time. If I'm going to invest it in a worthwhile pursuit, then I should make every moment of the experience count instead of just waiting to check another item off the to do list.
