"Make the Best Use of the Time..."

December 11, 2014

“Make the Best Use of the Time…”

Blessings folk!

A recapitulation of a previous instruction, with practical commandment...

Ephesians 5:15-16
15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,
16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.


We, True Believers, must be careful in how we walk…
Walk in light, not in darkness.
Walk in good deeds, not the unfruitful deeds of darkness
Walk in the wisdom of the Lord.
Etc. Etc.

One practical aspect of walking in wisdom is given.
Make the best use of the time.

We are called to make use of this very moment.
The past is past.
The next breath may not come.
Now is the time to walk.
Now is the time of obedience.
Now is the only time in life.
Not the past.
Not the future.
Now.

Why?

Because the days are evil.
Evil is increasing...as the Lord has prophesied.

We are called to be the Light of the world.
We are called to expose the deeds of darkness.

This is to be done now.

Are we making the best use of the time?

Take the question before the Lord.
Listen to what He reveals.
Pay attention.

What is draining time from your life?
What is not of the Lord?
Give close attention to “good things”.
“Good things” often keep us from being obedient to the true calling of the Lord.

Make the best use of the time the Lord has granted.
Redeem the time.

The days are His.
