How much do the things important to you cost?
And I don’t mean money. That’s not the only type of currency we spend.
Stocks can go up in value, and if we don’t sell, we’ll have more, more, more. A salary … we get raises, don’t we? The paycheck we get this year will go up in the next (or so we hope).
We want to look at a type of currency we spend even if we don’t want to. It runs through our fingers, and the only way we can conserve it is to spend it wisely.
We’re talking about time. We only get so much of it. We can’t earn more. And once it’s gone, we can never get it back again.
Spent … was it wasted or invested wisely?
Anthony Samandani co-owns Good News Network and recently launched the podcast LIVIN’ GOOD CURRENCY about spending time on doing good for ourselves and others.
2 Chronicles 7:14 tells us a good use of our time currency:
“If my people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
We can chase houses, cars, and jobs. We spend our time on each of those in upkeep, care, or hours spent at our place of employment.
Samandani says our “good currency” is the time we’ve been given, and it’s the most important one we have.
Let’s spend our time currency on God, family, and self. When we invest in God and the people around us, we’ve spent our time wisely.
That’s money in the bank!
