Daily Musings: Wasted Time

Have you ever wasted time?
I know I have, every day. I realized I have lately been wasting too much. I spent three hours on Sunday keeping track of the Seahawks game, spent time focusing on my fantasy football team (which is stacked, by the way), and spent several hours watching worthless movies like The Martian. That doesn’t even include the time wasted completing Biology modules and Algebra II lessons. All of this for myself. My dreams, my education, interests, and fun. I used the letter ‘I’ five times in the previous paragraph. How many times did I mention God?
Ouch.
I definitely need to focus on him more rather than myself, so my goal for today is to spend more time in God’s presence than with myself, to pray longer than I do thinking about sports or movies. I know my time can be used for great things, so I better get on it (Even if my team is stacked).
What are your goals for today to better yourself? Leave a comment!
Your brother in Christ,

-Jacob
