Ladies and Gentlemen, how are we spending our TIME?
Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by The Father.
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Dear ones, we benefit from these Promises found in the Word of God for us TODAY! We spent our infancy in total dependence upon our parents. Every minute of every hour was in active pursuit of growing our mind, our body, and our understanding of this world outside the womb of our mother.
As a child, we were NOT worried about anything. We may have enjoyed celebrating our Birthday each and every year as we grew up before going to school. I love this phrase – when the fullness of time had come!
This is like the first day of school. I was setting the course, charting a path, participating in an adventure and receiving an education that would involve the rest of my life here on earth as a Blessed Child of God!
Holy Spirit of the Living LORD, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in 1Corinthians 13:9-13
Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the Gift of Prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
LORD, help me to manage my TIME as a Blessed Child of God, who is adopted into the Family of God by the precious Blood of Your Son my LORD and Savior!
Amen and Amen!
