Daily Devotion

“We often think that time will heal our spiritual numbness, but time itself does not change a person; only when we turn our hearts to God and offer our lives anew before Him does time become a vessel of grace.”

Tozer · Pursuing God

Scripture

Ephesians 5:14–16 Wake up, you sleeper! And Christ will shine on you when you have risen from the dead. So be careful to walk as wise, not as fools, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

Reflection

Time never changes me automatically. In the past year, I had hoped that my spiritual state would naturally improve with the passage of time, but reality only made me see my weaknesses more clearly. True renewal is not about time, but about whether one is willing to return to God and surrender numbness, weariness, and struggle into His hands. Only when I actively draw near to Him does time become a blessing, rather than an empty passing of time.
