Put More Time on the Clock: How to receive GOD's gift of more "time"
I'm sure you're all aware of it by now, but today is daylight savings time.
If you haven't done so already, may this be another friendly reminder to simply change your clocks to the appropriate time.
I remember when I was growing up as a kid and I was in sports, this was one of my favorite days of the year.
It gave me an extra hour to train.
So I would spend that extra hour in the gym, getting after it.
It always felt like such an amazing gift to me, because I felt like this extra hour was giving me an extra opportunity to reach my highest potential as a basketball player.
Especially since tryouts were always coming up within the next couple of weeks.
Many times in our lives, it feels like we get a gift of extra time to reach our highest potential as well.
We see this many times in sports when we make the playoffs.
It gives us an extra opportunity to continue to play and go for the championship.
We see this in our jobs or in our schooling too.
Whether it’s getting a scholarship so we can continue our education...
Or getting a promotion in our jobs so we can have a larger platform to impact people around us.
But most importantly, this also happens in our spiritual walks of faith.
We know that God always gives us second chances.
And we know that God can give us all the time in the world.
Because when we truly give our life to Christ, we know that all time goes away.
And we know that we will continue to endure for all of eternity.
So my encouragement for you today is this:
Whenever God gives you these gifts of extra time — whether it's in school, in sports, in life, in coaching — take advantage of it.
And when it comes to your faith, take advantage of it as well.
Experience that peace that transcends all understanding.
Give your hearts, your minds, and your lives to Christ.
And experience the unconditional love and beauty for all of eternity.
Athletes and coaches for Christ, I wish you well on your journey of having extra time to reach your highest potential, and I send love, gratitude, peace, and blessings to you!
May GOD inspire YOU every step of your way,
Kyle
