Joseph Alleine was very concerned about using every moment of his time to honor God. He wrote, “Give me a Christian that counts his time more precious than gold.” To help him do this, he built in reminders to his weekly journaling and prayer times.
At the beginning of each week he wrote in his journal—“Another week is now before us, let us spend this week for God.”
And each morning he wrote in his journal—“Let us live this one day well!”
The Bible instructs us to:
- Glorify God in all our daily activities (1 Corinthians 10:31)
- Know the value of living wisely and living well (Psalm 90:12)
- Make the most of every opportunity (Ephesians 5:16)
What can you do this week to make sure that you spend this week for God?
