This is a subject that I often think about come the start of a brand new year. With each January 1st, I am moved to think back over the previous year, and years, to see how I have improved, or wasted, this precious commodity called ‘time’. I am compelled to ask questions such as ‘how have I spent my time’, ‘have I made the most of my time’, and ‘how much time have I wasted on meaningless things’. Questions that all of us Christians would do well to ask ourselves.
In Ephesians 5:16, the apostle Paul exhorts his Ephesian readers to ‘make the most of their time’, again suggesting that time is a precious commodity. But, why so? Why is time so precious? Let me offer some reasons.
Put off slothfulness, put off procrastination. Live every moment to its fullest.
