Making the Most of Time

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,

making the most of the time. (Eph. 5:15-16)

What is a year? 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds. Much more than that, it’s a gift. Like life itself, it comes to us undeserved from the hands of God.

Consider the nature of the time allotted us.

1. Every man, woman, and child has the same twenty-four hours a day, but the total amount given to each individual is uncertain.

2. Once given it cannot be stopped. There’s no way to slow down, turn off, or adjust

the march of time.

3. Lost time cannot be regained. When gone, it’s gone.

4. Time wasted is time lost forever.

No wonder, then, that the Apostle, Paul, associates wisdom with “making the most of time.” At the beginning of this new year let us remember that time is among our most precious possessions and resolve to use it wisely.
