MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME
Ecclesiastes 3:1; Ephesians 5:16

Ephesians 5:16 "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil". Time is God's free gift to man with which we can either make our lives count or count our lives. Time always offers the opportunity to become who you were designed to be or achieve worthwhile goals on the journey of success. Anyone who doesn't value time, doesn't value life. Our lives were designed by God to unfold in time; therefore there is process and phases in the fulfilment of destiny. Time offers the privilege of process, development and achievement. God's instruction to us in our opening scripture talks about redeeming time, because the days are evil. The Word tells us the reason it's important to redeem time; it says because the days are evil. Evil always catches up with people who misuse time. The more efficient you are with the use of time, the better you can realize your God-given dreams and purposes. To redeem time is to use it for what it is meant for. The Word says in Ecclesiastes 3:1, "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven". This scripture tells of time defining seasons and purposes in our lives. Every time comes with its peculiar season and purpose; every time is meant for something specific according to God's assignment. Redeeming time, therefore is engaging the purpose for which each time was designed. It takes wisdom and understanding to redeem time. The Word tells us in verse 17 of Ephesians 5 to be wise and to understand the will of God.

Other Scriptures for Meditation: 1 Chronicles 12:32; 1 Corinthians 1:30
