Summary

"God became a human. That means that God took on our human limitations." There just aren't enough hours in the day! How many times have you thought that? There's so much to do and never enough time. We try to be the responsible by getting things done and even getting ahead, but, as hard as it is to accept, we can't do everything. We have to prioritize, and sometimes our lived priorities don't actually represent our stated priorities. Sometimes the things we care about the most get the least of our time and attention. We all struggle with prioritization and time management, which is why https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) focuses on one of the most convicting but overlooked verses in the Bible. Hear how Jesus's example has made an impact and his life and how you can implement it in yours as we continue our series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/how-to-follow-jesus/ (Learning to Follow Jesus).

0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.5	I'm Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon. Right now we're
0:14.7	learning what it looks like to follow Jesus by working our way through the
0:18.4	Gospel of Luke. Do you know the one resource all people have the exact same amount of?
0:26.0	It doesn't matter how poor or rich you are.
0:28.0	It doesn't matter how educated you are, your nationality or ethnicity, they don't change change it do you know what it is time
0:35.8	there's no exceptions we all only get 24 hours in a day seven days in a week
0:41.9	365 days in a week, in a year. We all get the exact same amount of time. And again, I
0:49.7	don't care who you are, you probably feel like you don't got enough of it. Speaking for myself,
0:55.9	I can't count the amount of times that I have found myself saying, I just wish I had another
1:01.2	hour or two. I just wish I had another hour or two. I just wish I had another day and on and on it goes.
1:07.0	Why do I feel like I need these things? Well, it's because I'm always in a hurry, because life always feels stretched out to the limits, because if I don't
1:16.1	get this thing done, then who will?
1:19.1	That last question cuts to the heart of it, doesn't it?
1:22.0	Why I'm so anxious and why I'm always in a hurry, why I always
1:25.8	need more time, it's because I think that I'm in control over my life. It's because I believe
1:32.2	that I'm responsible for everything around me
1:34.8	because I fear that letting go of my control over this or that thing might mean that I
1:39.1	lose it entirely or I end up losing something I want like wealth or opportunity status
1:45.6	relational capital I need more time because deep down I think that I ought to be
1:52.0	more like the one who has an infinite amount of time, God.
1:56.0	You see, after all, God, he exists outside of time.
