86,400 Seconds

The following post was first shared in July of 2020. In the current state of our world, I thought to share it again and add a little to the original post.

The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33:4 (ESV)

Have you ever broken down how many seconds of life, you have each day? In a 24-hour period, we have 86,400 seconds of life. Now that you know, what are you doing with this precious gift that God has given you? If you and I are blessed to wake up and read this message, we were given another chance at 86,400 seconds of life. What are you going to do? How are you going to live? What positive impact are you going to make on God's world? What positive impact on another person's life, as God's Ambassador, are you going to undertake?

So many times, we use our seconds for our own selfish reasons and personal gains. God allows us to do this however, He also gives us free choice, to make a difference in this world, for Him.                   

Some may say I don't know what to do or I don’t know how to use my talents. But if we look around, we can definitely see where help is needed. Look first to the needs of your own family, friends, church/church members, neighbors, and co-workers; to see where you can be of assistance.   

Then perhaps turn your attention to programs that feed/clothe the homeless. Or join reading and teaching programs for all ages. Orphanages may need assistance with funds, clothes, or fun activities for the children. There are programs for helping the elderly with their various needs. The elderly would love someone to come by and visit with them, read to them, or sing/play an instrument. There are also various programs to help single parents in your community. The list can go on and on of things that can be done as God's disciples.

“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few…” Luke 10:2 (ESV)

So today is a new day. What are you going to do with your 86,400 seconds of life?

Blessings,
