The Power of a Half Hour
Time is the currency of this dimension. If you want better relationships, you have to invest time with people. If you want to change your body, you have to invest time exercising. If you want to advance in your career, you spend time working towards that goal. You probably have a list of New Year’s resolutions that you’re working on and in order to see them come to pass, you have to invest time for those things, too.
As my friend, Tommy Barnett shares in his new book, “The Power of a Half Hour” thirty minutes can wreck or redeem a life. Think about all you can do in thirty minutes; have lunch, watch television, check Facebook, or work on your goals and dreams, get ahead, build a relationship, or grow with the Creator. The time passes anyway. You decide if that time is used to help you get ahead or not.
Tommy says in his book, “We take a lot of things for granted in our lives, such as gravity, air, daylight—and time. Yet time is one of God’s most precious gifts to us. It is the most significant non-renewable resource at our disposal. We have less of it remaining with each passing day. When the Creator gave this gift, He intended for us to use it carefully, intentionally, wisely, and productively.
If your life is a gift from the Creator (and it is) and time is the organizational foundation of that life, then you are honoring His plan and blessing Him with the fruit of your life when you use your time well. When you serve another person, you are honoring that person with the unique outcome of your irreplaceable existence. Your time is invaluable. You will never get lost time back—and nobody can eliminate the results of time well-invested. A wise person will try to use his time for the highest purpose.”
Today, I just want to encourage you to evaluate how you are using your time day in and day out. We are all given the same 24 hours, it’s what we do with it that makes a life. There’s no better time to start making changes than right now, at the first part of the New Year. Why don’t you pick up a copy of “The Power of a Half Hour” and follow the Personal Action Plans that will help you keep your day on track. Turn your fleeting minutes into defining moments and boldly embrace the destiny the Creator has in store for you!
