Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can give you. For God the Father has given me the seal of his approval. – John 6:27(NLT)
USE ENERGY WISELY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you manage your energy wisely?
What kind of things do you do regularly?
Find time to put God first in your activities
If you do, you’ll get his blessings easily.
God gave Jesus his seal of approval
Let’s seek him daily because it is crucial
Use your energy to spread God’s kingdom
It will make you free and receive his wisdom.

If I don’t plan ahead of time, my day becomes so distracted and unproductive. When I don’t prioritize spending time with God first thing in the morning, I get depleted even just in the middle of the day. Despite my busy schedules, I do my best to pray and have quality moment studying Scriptures. I ask the Lord to help me do my schedule so that I will not be doing things out of his will. I usually am able to finish all the planned activities and I don’t get to feel so tired at the end of the day. On odd occasions when I get interrupted with regular schedule and I fail to pray and study the bible, the enemy gets an open door to steal my joy, time and energy with subtle distractions.
