What at one point was a stress now is a cakewalk. In the final chapter and section of Paul in
the book of Acts we see Paul in Rome and what he was doing to pass the
time. This is how Paul spent the end of
the book of Acts 28:30-31…
“For two whole years Paul Stayed there in his own rented
house and welcomed all who came to see him. He proclaimed the kingdom of God
and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ – with all boldness and without
hindrance!”
Getting towards the end of his life, what was important to
Paul? He spent his time visiting with anyone that came to see him and taught
about Jesus without hesitation. What was important to Paul at this time? People
and Jesus. This really can make you reflect. What is important to you?
When you look back at life, people can live lives different
ways when they are younger then when they are older.
I learned about this on the way to Kalamazoo to a Porn and
Pancakes breakfast with two elders. One of the guys Pat liked to ask questions.
I asked him one back, what is something you would have liked to do more as you
were younger? Both Pat and Mickey said, spend more time with your kids when you’re
younger. They grow up so fast and you truly miss the time. They were both in agreement with this.
You miss what happens when you are younger. Reflect on this,
what are you spending your time doing right now and is that the best use of
your time? If you can learn from other people, you can benefit greatly from
this.
What can you do with your time that would make you not
regret? We only have a certain amount of time on this earth, how are you
spending your time and what do you truly what to be doing with your time? You have a decision, what are you doing with
your time? Paul spent his time talking about Jesus to anyone who came to visit.
What do you do with your time?
Have a great day.
