Making the best use of the Time......Eph. 5:16a (ESV)
Time is so precious. The character & career of a person depend on how He/She spend their time.Each moment is a gift from God that deserves resourceful use of it.Because our time is short & the work is great.(Ps 90:12)
so therefore, we must use our time effectively.Many at times, times we 'r carried away by too much activities,bearing in mind that Paul told us in Vs15 that we must work circumspectly not as fools but as wise,meaning that activity is not necessarily accomplishment.Paul advice us to analyze our lifestyles & utilize the present Vs16 and priorities what is important.
We must plan & arrange our activities in other of importance and we must ensure that we make good use of this time.Our problem is not too little time, but making better use of the time we have.Everyone is given the same time as you & I. Great people who 'r accomplished today 've the same 24hrs as our selves.
Referring to the Bible,a clear example is the parable of the pound (Luke 19:12-27) they where given the same amount of money. so also 'r we given the same amount of time.But only few of us use it so wisely as to produce a tenfold return.The parable recognized different abilities ,but the servant with less capacity but equal faithfulness received the same reward.We may not be responsible for our natural endowment or abilities, but we 'r responsible for the strategic use of our time.
NIV referred to TIME to "OPPORTUNITY" time is indeed an asset which means great opportunity,privilege.Therefor it's important for us to carefully plan our lives.If we progress, we 'r learning to live but if we fail,we fail every where.Remember He that fail to plan,plans to fail,because Time (opportunity) lost can't be regained.
In conclusion,we must plan our lives well & ask God to direct our path (Prov.3:6),Set priorities (goals) as well as date -line for our selves, because the moment you say later or I can't, you 've failed already so let's be determined we 'll indeed get there.
Lets spend & direct our day purposefully & productively.It's not how long we live but how well.Jesus accomplished His ministry by saying "I've brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.(Jhn. 17:4)
I pray that from now hence forth we 'll accomplish the task assign to us,because time is ruining out & the days 'r evil in Jesus name.
Shalom!!!
