Redeeming Your Time – Sanctify It
Job 1:5 NLT
When these celebrations ended-sometimes after several days – Job would purify his children. He would get up early in the morning and offer a burnt offering for each of them. For Job said to himself, “Perhaps my children have sinned and have cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular practice.

Series: Redeeming Your Time
1 Corinthians 10:31 NLT: So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
– We tend to not surrender to God or do and say things that do not glorify God.
– We have to make it a ritualistic practice to go into the presence of God and ask forgiveness for our sins like Job did for his sons.
– We should not take our relationship with God for granted. Therefore, sanctify your time so out of your days, God will get the glory.
– The way we use our time is an offering of worship to God.
– Making it a lifestyle to sanctify your time keeps your heart set on God.
Whatever we do with our time during the day should all be done for the glory of God, whether office work, cooking, etc. do all things for His glory.
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.
