How are you using your time?

This is a great couple of verses to think about this morning:



Ephesians 5:15-17

15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.



As you get ready to start out your day today it would be wise to plan your steps as best as you can. God's Word tells us here to be wise in how we walk and spend our time! Have you thought about how you are spending your time recently? Our time should be spent as much as possible in reaching the world for Christ. One way to do that is by watching how we walk...or how we live our lives for we should be good examples to others in our walk with Christ. Then the Word goes on to say to make the best of out time! Wow I must say I can do better at this. Do you make the best use of your time for the Lord everyday? Then the Word says "because the days are evil". What that tells me is the devil wants us to use our time unwisely and on things that are not honoring to the Lord! Verse 17 then tells us not to be foolish and understand what God's will is and then do it! When we are doing the will of God in our lives we will be using our time in a wise manner.



So we can sum this up like this....are you spending your time wisely and for the Lord or are you spending it foolishly and for the devil???
