Welcome to the InTouch Podcast with Charles Stanley for Thursday, October 12th.

When you look at your daily calendar, do you have a time set aside for God?

Today's podcast helps us understand the importance of a balanced schedule.

To become the person God wants you to be and to achieve the things He wants you to achieve

in life, one of the things that's very important is the way you utilize your time because

you see your time is your life.

It's irreplaceable there's absolutely no substitute and either we will invest it wisely

or we will waste it foolishly.

Very important how we utilize our time and so on what you turn if you will to Ephesians

chapter 5 and just a couple of verses or so here the Apostle Paul is writing to the Ephesians

and and monitoring them about the way they live their life and the way they invest or spend

their time.

He says therefore be careful how you walk how you live your life not his unwise men or

women but his wise men and women making the most of your time because the days are evil

so they do not be foolish but understand what the will of the Lord is and it is certainly

the will of the Lord that you and I live our lives out right and we make the most about

time.

Now when he says here making the most of your time what he's saying in essence is this

take advantage of every opportunity make the most of the opportunities God has given

you don't waste your time and so when we think about how we reach our potential how

we become the person's God wants us to be achieve the things he wants us to achieve
