Redeeming Your Time – Multiply It
Exodus 18:18 NLT
You’re going to wear yourself out and the people, too. This job is too heavy a burden for you to handle all by yourself.

Series: Redeeming Your Time
You can multiply your time by investing into other people. Jethro advises Moses to delegate his work so that he can be more productive and get more people to do what he was doing.
Find someone whom you can mentor so that you can teach and disciple them to do what you do. By doing so, you can multiply what God has put into your life. E.g. If you are called to be a pastor, you can take some time out to train some people to be a pastors. After sometime, some of them may become pastors and do the work which you have been doing and multiply those efforts at some other place.
In the parable about the master who gave talents to his servants and returned to see what they did with it; two of them traded with it and multiplied it but one just hid it and didn’t multiply it. Time is also like a talent that God has given you, so be good stewards of it.
God has called you not only to plan and enjoy the work that He does through you, but also to multiply it by investing it in someone else’s life.
So go and make disciples of all nations as Jesus asked you to, and ask them to follow and walk with Him as you do.
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
