Lord, I offer my life... my days to You, as a pleasing sacrifice...

Most of us have no problem tithing. Offering up our 10% to God, or sometimes even more for missions, camps, building fund or special collection comes naturally to us, or sometimes difficult, but in the end we usually can commit.

Have you ever thought of giving 1/10 of your time to God?

If you were to count the time you're awake (about 8 hours for an average person), that would add up to 112 hours a week. 11.2 hours in 1 week means spending 2 hours for service and cell group each and 1 hour a day including weekends in quiet time.

The Bible does not mention the 10% rule for time, only for things like money, but look back at yourself and think about how much time you're spending with God, and how much time you're giving to other things. As students, probably most of your time goes into school work and studying. After that, you have your meals and a little time for that programme on television. And that book your friend lent to you last week. And a couple of people on MSN whom you haven't spoken to in ages. And... The list goes on. At the end of it all, how much time do you have left for God? When you plan your time, is God your priority or is He incidental, something you do when there's a little time left over at the end of the day?

Are you up to the challenge to spending 10% of your time, getting to know someone better and spending time talking and sharing your life with Him?
