Reclaiming the Time

Ephesians 5:15-16

Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people), Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil. Amplified Bible

Make a quick mental list of the things you really value. Undoubtedly, your list would include your loved ones, home, church, and perhaps a few other possessions. Would it also include your time? Paul’s admonition to live carefully, “making the most of every opportunity,” is a reminder of the preciousness of time. Think about it. If someone takes away your money, you may not like it, but you can earn more money. It might be challenging if someone or something takes away your job or even your house, but you can get another job or home. But if something wastes your time, you can never get it back. Those hours or days are gone, never to be retrieved. That makes the time a precious thing indeed. What are you doing with the time God has given you? Are you “making the most of every opportunity,” allowing him to use you and your time as he sees fit?
