What is wasting time?
Is it just doing nothing?
Or is it something…
Something other than
What is expected of you?
Whose expectations?
Where do we get clues
About what is important?
Important to whom?
Some tasks are vital
For our health and survival.
Others just are not.
How can we be sure
What we’re doing is important
In the scheme of things?
Who’s our Director?
Who are we listening to?
The devil says, “Me!
I will tell you what
I want you to do today.”
Just ignore him, please!
He may come disguised
As a cute, simple request –
But he’s full of tricks!
He loves to entice
Us away from important
Things he says are “Waste.”
Waste time on others –
Waste time listening to God –
Waste time in deep prayer.
Waste time every day
Reading your devotionals –
Also your Bible.
That’s where direction
Becomes crystal clear to you.
Go ahead, waste time!
Romans 12:2
“Do not be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewal of your mind,
that by testing you may discern
what is the will of God,
what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
What is the Lord telling you to do today?
Today marks the 1st year anniversary
of Stan, her husband’s death.
Rest in peace, Stan!
God bless you, Bonnie.
See ya tomorrow (God willing)

Jan, so love this post! I have the same calendar and have used it for years. It is a favorite. We are so used to “doing” and not “being”; thank you for this wisdom!
