In this episode, Evangelist Frank King addresses our need for time-management and setting priorities. He says these are two of the keys to success in life. God has given us only 24 hours in a day to work with. We must know what’s important in life and learn how to be a good steward of our time.

There is a limit to how much we can prevent life from imposing itself upon us. Each of our lives is inseparably connected with the lives of others.  For instance, you may have to help care for an elderly parent or family member. You didn’t ask for that, but you have it. The only way we can get through the challenges of life is by determining what’s important and disciplining ourselves to focus on those things first.

Think about Jesus. While He was on earth, He was clothed in human flesh. Hence, He was physically confined. He couldn’t be everywhere solving everybody’s problem. He didn’t try to because that was not His mission. He knew what His mission was, He focused on the mission, and He did that with perfection.

We tend to overrate the importance of some things in our life at the expense of other things that truly are important. It may be a hobby or a personal routine. For instance, your daily trip to Starbucks for coffee, or your weekly trip to the golf course. Those things in the lives of some people are overrated. At the same time, they underrate some things that really are important.

With time, life will become increasingly more demanding upon our limited time. The best single thing you can do to succeed is to make it a priority to spend time alone with the Lord each day. Your time with Him will positively impact every aspect of your day.
