Man’s lifetime on Earth is not infinite. Seek Him in your use of time. Use the gift of time that God blesses us with well. Time is valuable. Seek God, gain wisdom, grow spiritually, and value the time He gives. God calls us to use our time not solely for our own spiritual growth but also to work with other people, displaying the love of Jesus so that they too may experience His love. Time is to be used intentionally. Seek God with intention so that our use of the time He blesses us with aligns with His purpose for our lives. The love of God toward us enables us to use our time serving Him and others to build God’s Kingdom. 

 The Word of God is alive because God is a living God!  Do not allow your faith in Him and His Word to waver!  God’s Word nurtures believers; caring for and encouraging us to develop in our spirits. We believers are born again – made alive spiritually and eternally – because of the power of the living Word!  Trust and rely on God with a pliable heart and enter in!  

What words do you use to speak to God? Be effective in communicating with God in your prayer life. Know that God’s word has the answer to every prayer need. Ask anything, according to His Will, receive it, and rely on Holy Spirit to reveal the answer to your prayer to you.  Keep standing in faith regarding your prayer and allow Holy Spirit to work in and through you. After you have prayed, remain vigilant. We need our spirits aligned with the Holy Spirit. We must learn His voice and respond.
