Each of us has 24 hours everyday but some of us have found out how to add more! (This is not a sales pitch for some new “daytimer” tool that makes you think you have more time) Here’s the truth:

My son, forget not my law or teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; For length of days and years of a life [worth living] and tranquility [inward and outward and continuing through old age till death], these shall they add to you. – Proverbs 3:1-2 AMP

This verse draws a distinction between “length of days” and “years of a life”. You can experience both longer days and more years in life by being a doer of the Word of God!

Time is something that becomes more valuable as we become older in this life because the time we have left compared to the the time that we have spent (or invested) becomes less the older that we get. Make sense? Hopefully as we get older we learn more about the value of time and how to be better stewards of time. We invest it rather than waste it. I like what the New Living translation says in Psalms 9:12 “Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.” Our time on this earth is like a vapor. It appears for a little time and then vanishes away. (James 4:14)

We add to each day by being a doer of the Word of God. We become wiser and more efficient the more that we hear the Word and put it into practice. Doing the Word causes a supernatural multiplication of your time each day! Believe it and confess it because it is the Word! Begin to say, I am more efficient and more effective because I am a doer of the Word of God therefore I experience an increase in the amount of time I have in each day! (and never allow yourself to say, “I just don’t have enough time”)
