If it is, let me suggest something to you today. Maybe God is trying to get your attention. Time and money are resources in this life - resources that are meant to be used for the glory of God. Yes, that's right. Used for Him - not you, me or anyone else.
So, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31
When we use our time for our purposes with our desires being the primary motivating factor, we'll spend our entire lives never having enough time.
"I can't (enter here what God wants you to do) because (enter here what you're choosing to do instead)."
This is a statement we make way too often. And what's the result? We stay exhausted. We wake up in the morning and by the time we go to bed, we are further behind than when we woke up that morning. It never seems we have enough time to get everything done. And we spend our lives in "catch-up" mode.
The same is true with our money. We spend our money on what we want instead of being good stewards of the resources with which God has blessed us.
"I can't (enter here how God wants you to spend your money) because (enter here how you're choosing to spend your money instead)."
What's the result? We are consumed with debt or stress and worry as we scrape and struggle to cover all our bills each month.
Maybe God is trying to get your attention. Maybe it's time to start using your resources (time and money) for God instead of yourself. Maybe it's time to stop using excuses to rationalize your behavior.
