With the limited amount of time we have in a day, shouldn't we be more discerning with how we spend that time? If you believe that God Almighty is the creator of the universe and all that we know, then it would stand to reason that we should spend a large portion of our day asking Him for help and for answers to the many challenges we have in our day. However, society and the world has created such a spin bubble that life just does not seem to have enough time for God in it, but there is lots of time for other stuff that was not even there 10 years ago.
If you buy a new car, laptop, tablet or mobile phone, there is a handbook that comes with it. This hand book shows you have to optimally use your purchase and how to get the most value and enjoyment out of that purchase. If you were to fill up your car with sand or sugar, then your journey will be short and it will defiantly end with a very expensive mechanics bill at the end of it, and you will probably not even get there. Now consider that God Almighty created you and he has given you a body and mind and spirit to function. He even gave you a hand book to get the optimum enjoyment out of the life He has given you.
The question I am asking is, "What are you filling your tank with?".
The first table shows the suggested percentage of time we might spend on various things in our day, and the second shows the suggested minutes we set aside for this.
