Ecclesiastes 9:10 (KJV) "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might,for in the realm of the dead,where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom."
We have all heard the saying, "I'm running to beat the time. " "No time like the present-that is why it is called a gift."
If you really want to make your time counts, then seek God’s will on a daily basis. Most of God’s will is clearly laid out for you in the Scriptures. God will never lead you to do anything that is contrary to his revealed will in the Word. So, don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
James 4 talks about the person who says: “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” And then James responds, “Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” (James 4:13-15) Living carefully in evil times means you yield every action, every decision to the Lord’s will.

Always leave room for God to change your plans.
Proverbs 16:9 (KJV) “In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.”
Proverbs 16:9 (KJV) “In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.”
God can overrule at any time, so let Him. He knows better than you how best to apportion your time.
Proverbs 16:9 (NIV) "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps."
Action Step: Begin to take an account of how you spend your time. What you spend your time on reveals your heart. You are probably thinking about how many hours your spend at work? If so you exchange those hours your working into cash. What are you pending most of your cash on? Think about these things and if you are not content in your spirit with the way things have been going then change it today. Procrastination in reality is a decision. God gave man 24 hours in a day. Then He said, "Choose you this day..."
