It’s been said that life is God’s gift to us. What we do with our lives is our gift back to God.
As we consider the three T’s; Our Time, Talents, and Treasures those who call themselves Christ followers want to see God get the maximum glory in these three areas. It ties into what Pastor Clay has mentioned concerning us reaching our fully potential, as individuals and as a church.
We are to be constantly moving from the worldly good life to the Christ centered Great Life!Part of the steps in reaching our full potential is assessing what we are doing with our three T’s.
In the area of our personal finances, one way to do this is by keeping track of our spending habits.
Try this out and see what you find. Keep all of the receipts from anything you purchase this week. At the end of the week lay them out on your kitchen table. Now look at the different things you purchased. Some of them might be necessities but how much money was spent on things you don’t need, or can’t afford including the multiple lunches out or picking up dinner on the way home.
I know for myself I’ll say, “If only I had taken a little more time planning out my week I could have had a packed lunch a couple more time instead of getting my lunch on the run.”
Packing a lunch cost less and it’s usually healthier for you.
Pray with me: God please help me use the time, talents, and treasures you’ve given me to honor you this week. In Jesus name. Amen.
