Holidays. From the south of France to Alaska, from Venezuala to New Zealand, people like holidays, and we all need downtime, one way or another, to help recharge those batteries so we can serve God better.
Do you see your holiday as time for you? Or do see holiday as an opportunity to give to God in a different way?
If you are able to enjoy some annual leave, remember that the skill and health that God gave you – that enables you to have a job – is the very reason you are entitled to some time away from that same job.
The bible talks about tithing in the old testament, and this is a great starting place when we consider our giving through the focus of the New Testament. But our money is just as valuable to God as our time. Perhaps, in some ways, our time is even more valuable than any physical things we can bring to God, because our time is influenced by our heart, and our heart is what God loves more than anything else we can bring.
So, do you see your time as your time, or as time that God has blessed you with?
Is God, perhaps, asking you to use the time you have available in a different way? Perhaps a way that means you need to sacrifice some of that well earned annual leave and holiday?
Just a thought…
