“See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Ephesians 5:15-16
Every week we are bombarded with opportunities that entice us to invest our time and energy. Many of these opportunities promise that the time we spend on them we will reap a great reward. The unwise chase every opportunity not questioning whether that is the best choice and at some point the unwise wake up to the fact that they have squandered the investment of their time. Foolishly spending our time in wasteful pursuits can cost you and others.
Often it’s not evil pursuits that rob us of our time. Rather, the temptation is to sacrifice what is best for what is good. The enemy loves to lure us with distractions, thus leaving us no time to carry out God’s will. His temptation is to fill our schedule with good things which leaves us no time for God’s best. From time to time we should take a close look at our schedules. Maybe, it’s time to make some adjustments. We need to be sure we are investing our time wisely. Our time is our life and one day we will give account for our life.
God Bless, Pastor Rick
