Scripture: Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (Ephesians 5:15-17 ESV)
Observation: Time is an interesting thing. During our physical life, it is finite, and it is the one thing that no matter what you do, you cannot make more of it. "Time keeps ticking away" so the saying goes. Interestingly enough, since life in Christ is for an eternity, which is an expanse of time without end, we must make the most use of our finitie time here on earth to do the Lord's will.
Application: You will never have more time in your life than you have right now...and after having read that, you now have even less...and still less. Do the Lord's will NOW, with a sense of urgency. While Christ followers have an eterniity to spend with Christ, non-believers have an eternity seperated from God in Hell, a place where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Recall the rich man begging for Lazerus to go and bring him some water, and to go and tell his brother's that they had best repent...in other words, make the best use of their time, to seek after Christ.
Prayer: Daddy, Thank you for being the God of the finitie and the God of the infinite. Your finger prints are on the smallest things in the universe like Quarks, and the most huge things like galaxies with billions of stars that we can't even begin to fathom...and yet in all your might and glory, You love us. Thank You for that. Teach us Lord, to number our days and to seek Your kingdom daily. Amen.
