Values You Embrace

Our choices usually center on what is important to us. We all have to decide how to live our lives and must accept the reality that not all values are the same. The values that God offers us show us how to have a better relationship with Him, our elders and our peers.

These values stem from His law, which He reveals as truth. Jesus prayed to God the Father: "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth" (John 17:17). When we base our lives on God's inspired law, God says it will go well with us: "Observe and obey all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God" (Deuteronomy 12:28, emphasis added).

We all have 24 hours in a day, but some use time much more effectively than others. If we value time, we can use it to accomplish something lasting or important. An athlete must practice, a worker must perform, a student must study, etc.

It has been said that if you don't know where you are going, you'll probably end up somewhere else—and that usually means having to face the question of where your time went. Time can be one of God's greatest gifts, or it can be a great curse when misused. Spending precious moments to learn godly values is one of the most beneficial uses of the time we have.
