From withdrawing to grieve John the Baptist’s death to feeding thousands, Jesus showed intentionality in His time. By adopting a similar rhythm of rest, prayer, and service, we can minister effectively without burning out.

Because of Christ, we no longer wait for hope—we live in it, carry it, and share it as we await the final restoration to come.

We’re more connected than ever—but often less present. A speaker’s choice to create a distraction-free phone reminded me how hard it is to hear God’s voice and be fully available to others. Let’s be intentional about unplugging, so we can truly listen to the people—and the God—right in front of us.

Time is a gift from God, and everyone receives the same daily allotment—how we use it reflects our priorities and stewardship.

The familiar idiom is, “Time flies when you’re having fun.” But sometimes time also flies when there is so much to do! Paul admonished his readers to “make the best use of the time.”
