TOPIC: Time and Money

". . . lest strangers feast on your wealth
    and your toil enrich the house of another" - Proverbs 5:10.

If you are like most people, you will spend much of your time working, and often you will work for someone else's company. If you exert all your time and energy there, you will have no time for yourself, your family, and your ministry. If you do this for many years, you will eventually abandon everything to the company, and you will have enriched others, who often only paid you a gratuity or a 'tip' for your service. Where is the best of your time and energy being invested? Are you getting a fair return on your investment? Are you happy there, or is it time to face reality that you are stressed, underpaid, and overworked?

Lord, my work at my company is not my source of provision, You are. While I want to be a good worker as You require, I don't want to give it all my time to a company that may or may not appreciate what I do and give. Help me get my life back so i can have time for other things and interests.
