WHAT STOPS YOU FROM FINDING TIME FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS:


* BLURRED VALUES


* UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS


* LACK OF ENERGY


STRATEGY FOR MAKING TIME FOR LIVES MOST IMPORTANT THINGS:


1. LIST YOUR PRIORITIES.


Luke 2:49 - Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”


John 19:30 - When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished,” and bowed his head and dismissed his spirit.


John 11:5-7 - Although Jesus was very fond of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, 6 he stayed where he was for the next two days and made no move to go to them. 7 Finally, after the two days, he said to his disciples, “Let’s go to Judea.”


Matthew 6:33 - But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.


LIFE IS SHAPED BY YOUR PRIORITIES OR BY YOUR PRESSURES.


Proverbs 17:24 - “An intelligent person aims at wise action, but a fool starts off in many directions.”


Proverbs 12:11b - “… It is stupid to waste time on useless projects.”


• THE URGENT AND THE IMPORTANT ARE OFTEN TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS. JUST BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE DONE NOW, DOESN’T MEAN IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.


Proverbs 16:9 - “We should make our plans, counting on God to direct us.”


2. LIGHTEN UP YOUR ATTITUDE.


Proverbs 12:25 - “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down.”


Proverbs 14:30 - “A relaxed attitude lengthens a man’s life.”


Proverbs 17:22 - “Being cheerful keeps you healthy. It is a slow death to be gloomy all the time.”


3. LOOK TO GOD.


Proverbs 10:27 - “Reverence for God adds hours to each day…”


• GOD DOESN’T SAY YOU NEED MORE HOURS OR MORE TIME. HE SAYS, “YOU NEED MORE TIME WITH ME.”


Proverbs 14:26 - “Reverence for God gives a man deep strength.”


I have just enough time to do God’s will.


Proverbs 3:5-6 - “Trust the Lord completely… 6 in everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success.”


4. HUSBANDS AND CHILDREN: WE NEED TO APPRECIATE OUR MOTHER AND WIFE.


Proverbs 31:10-11 - A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.


Proverbs 31:28 - Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
