Yesterday, I shared this link to the Sermon Podcast at the church I attend. A point I noted from the message titled “Awe Factor” is that the time we spend with God is of essence. Studying His Word, reflecting on how to apply His Word, and time with Him in prayer brings power and direction in life.
When we put God first, the other things in life like family, children, health, and friends seem to fall into place. Here’s a video with a philosophy about how we use our time: The empty pickle jar.
Time goes fast so share the right words now; mark another’s life now, build relationships now, make memories now, and spend time with those you love now.

Yes, the professor was creative in his message to the students but didn’t mention how important our relationship to God is. Thanks for pointing this out Gracie.

Thanks Mick. Yes the professor gave a very creative illustration to his students. I just wish he would be able to tell the students that our time with God is the most important. I guess he might get in trouble though since most universities seem to want to leave God out these days.
