3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:   Ecclesiastes 3:1

 

At times one can be so occupied with so much to do with seemingly little time. For example, as a young adult in a transitive stage with all its challenges like finding a job, passing a competitive exam, acquiring relevant skills, and so on. Or a young couple trying to meet up with ends meet and same time save up to buy a house. 

Despite the busyness, I would like to encourage us to still makeout time for voluntary service; whether in the house of the Lord or Society. I believe even with the busy schedule, more often than not, we still make time for leisure. So why is there no time for service, in other words for God? 

Self-reflecting sincerely on why you might not be serving anywhere, you might realize that the real reasons could be laziness, selfishness, or more love and passion for things than love for God and humanity. 

While you may be in a delicate season where you genuinely have to tackle certain things, you can still allocate some time for the Lord; time to serve. I share some keys in this regard below.

Firstly, let’s believe there is time; it just has to be organized. In such a heightened season of busyness, I would suggest you reduce your service time, not stop. Because if you stop it might be difficult to start again as opposed to if you simply slow down or reduce. 

Let’s remember as we know that the Lord rewards every good we do such as voluntary service in His house or society. God will pay you in full! (Hebrews 11:6, Mathew 25:40).

Another thing is to enjoy your service. Why can your service not also be a leisure? Leisure does not always have to be unproductive. There is joy in working for good. 

Your dreams, your job, or whatever is taking so much of your time must not be done overnight. It is a process and you can make time too for God even as you build on it.

With these few keys shared, I hope by His grace we can continue or start to make time for God even in our heightened seasons of busyness.

 

Prayer Point: 

Let’s thank God for giving us time in the first place.  Let’s pray for grace to love God by making time to serve Him with the time He has given us.
