11- 05- 10 MI DAILY DEVOTION (I Corinthians 4:1- 2) “M”- MANAGE YOUR TIME, TALENT/S AND TREASURE/S WISELY ON CHRISTIAN’s ABC’s
1- “Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2- Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.”
Have you ever wondered how much time, talents and treasure/s are being wasted every day? If the Philippines have 91, 983,000 in population and according to July 2009 census; the Philippines has 7.6% unemployment rate. It means you are talking of about more or less 6,990,708 of jobless people of which most of them could be bystanders and they’re not doing anything. If each of them would loss 60 minutes each day; it would be 1,440 minutes in 24 hours for doing nothing, just imagine how much time are being lost and were spent for nothing. It would approximately be about 419, 442,480 for all of them. I can’t just imagine the wasted times and wasted opportunities that these young people have missed. There people on some parts of the world who are idle for hours or days. Wasted times and days!
There are those who have all the talents in the world, but they just don’t know how to get to their destination. They don’t know how to reach that goal/s. No one motivates them to pursue their dream/s and ambition/s. No one gave them the opportunity or at least gave them a try. There was no challenge for them. They don’t have the guts to step up into the next level. They wasted their talents because no one opens the door for them or at least show an interest. They have talents, but they have no clue and may be they don’t know how to manage their talents and their time. Some young people and church members, their talents got confined in a box, their own box. Some are just afraid to step up or step out of their box. One of the ministries of the Music Prescription is to develop some talents, because we know what it means to be alone out there.
How about your treasures? What is your treasure/s? The question could be who is your treasure/s? Do you manage your treasure/s according to God’s perspective and according to God’s will; God’s way and God’s Word? (Matthew 6:19- 21) 19- “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20- But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21- For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
