I have found that their are 3 types of people when it comes to time…

1. A Victim Of Their Time

These are the people that are being beaten up and knocked out by their schedule. They have the inability to say, “NO” so therefore they are consumed with “STUFF” that clutters their life. These people have no defense against the time stealers that are robbing them of productivity. They over-schedule and over-commit themselves to more than they can handle. Remember when Moses was trying to lead ALL of Israel by himself? His father-in-law, Jethro, came to Moses and told him he needed to raise up other men to lead. Jethro said, “The thing you do is NOT good.” Victims have to stand up and defend their time or they will be slaughtered by it.

2. A Manager Of Their Time

These people are simply keeping their head above water, treading back and forth. They are not getting ahead in life, they are just maintaining what they have. Managers usually just keep their life from getting too crazy. Their focus is on keeping the ship afloat, so they are doing their best to throw any extra water that gets in the boat back out. Managers of their time are stressed out trying to keep from being overwhelmed by the daily demands of life. Most people feel that if they manage their time they are doing well. But they never really feel like they have time to do the things they want to do, because the immediate sucks up every ounce of energy. They are left with little to no room to up their productivity.

3. A Leader Of Their Time

These are the people who make time work for them. They control their time, their time doesn’t control them. They are focused on getting the things done that REALLY matter and will yield a fruitful harvest from their labor. They do not waste their time on good things, they spend most of their time on the BEST things that only they can do. They delegate the rest to others or surrender it up altogether. Leaders of their time do things that they feel “called” to do, and things that they are “purposed” to do. Jesus spent His days leading His time and doing the things the “Father” did…

 John 5:19

Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

Jesus led His TIME and did the things that were PURPOSEFUL for Him to do. Everyday counts, so make the most of it and aspire to be a LEADER of your time.
