We live in a world that gives us more and more…faster and faster and calls it progress. But is this good for us? Do you ever feel like someone else is setting the agenda of your life? Thankfully the Bible gives us some wisdom on how to make the most of the days we are given.
Here is a talk that I gave called “I want my time back” in which I explore this topic biblically and try to apply it to our lives. As we begin the new year, we all need to consider an important question.
Is there enough time in my life right now for me to do what I say matters most on a daily basis?
Here is an excellent and (short!) book that can make a BIG difference – A Minute of Margin: Restoring Balance to Busy Lives180 Daily Reflections by Richard Swenson
Product Description
Where’s the balance? Too many of us are losing the “war of the planner.” We want to get everything done, but for some reason, it never happens. And the machines that were supposed to make lives easier only leave our lives more stressful.
Something has to give, and often it does––to disastrous consequences.
Expanding on principles from Dr. Richard Swenson’s best-selling books Margin and The Overload Syndrome, this book consists of 180 daily readings to help restore balance to hectic, modern lives. Each reading serves as a practical assignment––a helpful “prescription”––to eliminate unneeded frustrations, reflect on what’s really important, and start winning the war with our time.
