Divine Deposits

So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

— Psalm 90:12


Let's say that your phone rings tomorrow morning, and it is a call from the manager of your bank. He tells you, "I received a very unusual call the other day. Someone who loves you very much and is quite wealthy has given you a large sum of money. This anonymous donor will be depositing 86,400 cents into your account every single day."

"How is that again?" you ask.

"Every single day, this person will deposit 86,400 cents into your account."

Is that much money? you wonder at first. Then you get out your calculator and figure out that it amounts to $864 every day.That is pretty good, you're thinking.

"But there is one condition," the banker continues. "You have to spend it every single day. You can't save it up. You can't add it to the next day's balance. Every day, you must spend that money. What is not spent will be taken away. This person will do this each and every day, but the condition is that you must spend the money."

So you go back to your calculator and figure out that $864 times 7 equals $6,048 per week. That amount, multiplied by 52, comes to $314,496 per year. That is a pretty good deal. And that is also a fantasy.

So let's deal with reality. Someone who loves you very much deposits into your bank of time 86,400 seconds every single day. That someone is God. And the condition is that you must spend it. You can't save up time today and apply it toward tomorrow—there is no such thing as a 27-hour day. Each and every day, you have the opportunity to invest your precious commodity of time.

Wow, that was a great post.

That someone is God. And the condition is that you must spend it. You can't save up time today and apply it toward tomorrow—there is no such thing as a 27-hour day. Each and every day, you have the opportunity to invest your precious commodity of time.

God bless you

Many people reading this will think wow it's great but I've got so many things to do, how many of these seconds will I spent for God.

We can spend all the waking seconds glofifying God in many ways and in many places. Just being friendly with someone at work, smiling at someone passing by, taking a few minutes to really listen how someone is doing, showing interest in someone that is obviously down, you can pray and talk to God while you are busy and running around and be friendly and helpful to all the people phoning your office.

It is just small insignificant things, it can become a way of life that will fulfill your life as well as the life's of everyone that you get into contact with.

Don't be self centered be people centered and it will be easy to let the love, grace and mercy of God flow through you the whole day, blessing the life's of many people.

You can make a big difference in someone else's life everyday. Of course it can be either bad or good depending on how you spend the seconds God gave you for that particular day.

Let's be a blessing and glorify God every day.

Blessings!
