Hello
Everyone,
Also
Paul explains to have wisdom in Christ WE
USE TIME WISELY.
Ephesians 5:15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
How do you spend your time? This is exactly what we do. We literally “spend” our lives and our time on certain things. And someone said, “You cannot kill time without injuring eternity.”
In other words, what we do here and now affects eternity. We prepare for eternity here and now. We must invest our time wisely every day and perhaps, every hour of the day.
Psalm 90:12 “Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”

Time = Life, therefore, waste your time and waste your life, or master your time and master your life.
William Penn wrote: “Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.”

Have
you ever taken an inventory of how you spend your days? Try it some time
and you might be surprised at how much time you waste doing things that
count for nothing.
- Someone wrote: “Waste your money and you're only out of money, but waste your time and you've lost a part of your life.”
- “Don’t count every hour in the day, make every hour in the day count.”
Another writer said: Do you know that a ten-minute coffee break five days a week amounts to forty-three-and-one-third hours during a year—over a week’s vacation in time?
TIME ADDS UP QUICKLY. And time leaves us quickly as well.
2 Corinthians 6:2 “For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.”
NOW is the day of salvation for all mankind. God wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

BUT
TIME WILL RUN OUT. It may have already run out for some people because they
have continued to rebel against God.
Galatians 6:9 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Galatians 6:9 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
This
is the time of harvest but only if we work at sowing good stuff.
How can we reap if we do not sow?
1 Thessalonians 5:3 “Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.”
When is this time? IT COULD BE AT ANY TIME!
2 Timothy 4:6 “For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure.”
What about you? Is it time for your departure? It could be and for me too. We could leave this world at any time!

This
is why we need to be ready,
to get ready and to use our
time wisely for the Lord!
“Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.”
“Yesterday is a canceled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have - so spend it wisely.”
