Time-Dolatry

That according to the riches of Christ’s glory he may grant me to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in my inner being, so that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith—that I, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that I may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that I ask or think, according to the power at work within me, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

May Christ continue to reveal sin in my life. May I can continue to blot out idols and sins that so easily entangle me, and may I run after Christ with my eyes solely fixed on him, and not fixed on time, people, or possessions (Hebrews 12). May Christ dwell in me, may I be rooted and grounded in love, so that I can have the strength to comprehend with all the saints the vastness of Christ. May I know the love of Christ and by default be filled with all the fullness of God. That is my prayer.

IF Christ is first, IF I am no longer fixing my eyes and desires on things that are not Christ, then the way I spend my time will truly be glorifying to God. I will be making the best use of my time. I believe that when excessive time-dolatry is removed, Christ is there, and where Christ is, abundant joy flows forth.
