What is Your 168? Take Time for the Important Things in LIfe!

One hundred and sixty-eight—168! This is an important number, but most people are unaware of what it means.

We are talking about time. Time is priceless. If you could sell it, you would instantly be very rich. Many people want more time. Yet, far too often, we waste much of the time that we do have.

There are certain things in life where we have great equality. One is that, In a given day or week, we all have the same amount of time: in a week that is 168 hours. The question is this: how many of those 168 hours do you use well?

How many of your precious hours do you use for sleep, work,
cleaning of self, cleaning house/car/laundry, time with children and/or grandchildren, pets, quality time with your marriage partner, hobbies, eating, playing Sports/ exercise, watching TV or movies, listening to music, on the internet, reading books/magazines/ or newspapers, in prayer/Scripture reading, at church, or in other pursuits?

An honest time inventory can be very revealing and can challenge us to making new priorities of our precious commodity time. I would extend a friendly challenge to everyone to add up how they use their 168 hours.

Then, prayerfully consider if it isn’t possible for you to spend more time with God, with prayer, with the Bible, with church, and with family. At the end of the day, these are the things that matter most of all. Never forget it.

Make time for the important things in life! God gives us time. How we spend that time is our gift back to God!
