37When you begin to take control of your time, you make sure you're spending time with God. \Corinthians 10:31)I want to share with you an amazing principle. Whatever you turn over to God, He blesses and gives you more of that thing. I did not make that up. It%u2019s from Luke 6:38, \will be given unto you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.\Now the first thing we think this means is money. Give your money and He'll give it back to you; good measure and press down. But it's true for good deeds just as it is for money. It's true God will give you more opportunities.

We set goal and %u201cTo Do List%u201d and never even thinking about them. That's because most of us are activitydriven. We think of all these things we could and should do. Then we start our day just randomly doing those things on that \good and necessary. The problem with a \widely in value.
