Time is one of the most valuable resources God gives us. Once it’s gone, we can’t get it back. Managing time wisely means putting God first, planning your priorities, and living with purpose. When you begin your day with prayer and order, you invite God into your schedule—and He multiplies your effectiveness.

Biblical Foundation

1. Ephesians 5:15–16 (KJV) — “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”
   The Apostle Paul reminds us that wise living begins with mindful time use. Every moment is an opportunity to glorify God.

2. Proverbs 6:6–8 (KJV) — “Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.”
   Even the smallest of God’s creatures plan and prepare. Time well spent creates order and peace.

3. Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV) — “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”
   This verse teaches balance—there’s a time to work, rest, pray, and worship.

4. Proverbs 24:33–34 (KJV) — “Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.”
   Laziness steals blessings. Small delays and wasted moments lead to missed opportunities.

Bible Story: Nehemiah Rebuilding the Wall

Nehemiah was a man of focus and faith. When he heard Jerusalem’s walls were broken, he didn’t waste time complaining—he prayed, planned, and acted. Despite opposition, he stayed on task, refused distractions, and completed the wall in just 52 days (Nehemiah 6:15 KJV). Prayer guided his plan, and order brought success.

Real-World Example: Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln said, “Leave nothing for tomorrow which can be done today.” This principle guided his disciplined life. Despite hardship, he rose early to read, write, and pray. Lincoln believed in preparation and persistence, using each day wisely to lead a divided nation through its darkest hour. His success was born of diligence, reflection, and faith.

Action Plan for Biblical Time Management

1. Start With God:
   Rise 15–30 minutes earlier. Begin your day with prayer, Scripture reading, and gratitude. Invite the Holy Spirit to order your steps (Psalm 37:23).

2. Plan the Day:
   Write a short to-do list with three main priorities—faith, family, and focus. Make time to pray with your children before everyone leaves the house.

3. Eliminate Time-Wasters:
   Reduce phone scrolling, gossip, and clutter. Schedule quiet time to think, breathe, and listen to God’s direction.

4. Stay Flexible but Focused:
   Interruptions will come. When they do, pause, pray, and realign your attitude. Remember—success is won on your knees. (Charles Stanley)

5. End With Reflection:
   Before bed, thank God for what you accomplished and ask for guidance tomorrow.

A CALL TO SALVATION:

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Romans 10:9-10⁹That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

 John 3:5-6⁵Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷
