There are a lot of things that you consider to be of great value to you. Money is definitely on that list. Without it, you cannot exist. Knowing you have a home in heaven and having the fullness of the Spirit in your life is, also, high on the list. Food, clothing, and a loving support system should be considered too.
A new employee was habitually late. Finally, the foreman called him in, “Don’t you know what time we go to work here?” he shouted. “No sir,” was the reply. “I haven’t been able to figure it out yet because the rest of you are already here.” Ha! Ha! In order to keep a job, it is important to be prompt and to give a good day’s work for a day’s pay.
The Holy Bible is not silent when it talks about time. There are many verses that command us to be good stewards with our time. Ephesians 5:15-16 gives some sound teaching about your use of time: “Therefore, be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil.” These verses command you to be very careful with your use of your time. In addition, they tell you to make “the most of your time.” Putting the use of your time as a high priority in your life.
You do not have eternity to accomplish all that God has in store for you to do. Your life on earth is just a vapor in light of all eternity. So, it is important that you use your time wisely.
Using that precious commodity of time is one way that you can be a good steward of the life Jesus has given to you. Put your thinking cap on and make the use of your time something you think more about, than you have previously. Yep, use that precious time wisely!
