Time

Did you know that time is actually sacred? I think sometimes we get so caught up in running from thing to thing - errands, or school, or work meetings - that we can forget this. But the time we have each day, and more importantly, how we choose to spend it, is sacred! The Bible says in Ephesians 5:15 and 16, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time…“ and in Colossians 4:5, the Bible says, “Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of time.” The bottom line is, everyone knows our days are numbered, because we’ve all had to experience the loss of a loved one, or perhaps we’re experiencing aging ourselves. So we should be capitalizing on the moments we do have by living life in a way that matters. My grandson mentioned a popular phrase to me that says, “You only live once!” and it’s true. So, are you living in a way that glorifies God? Are you seeking the lost people in your part of the world, on your neighborhood street, in your apartment complex, and sharing with them about Jesus? Are you demonstrating your faith in the things you post on social media, or the way you treat strangers? Time is limited. Spend your days sharing the Good News. This is Luis Palau.
