Make Time

“Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity.” Col. 4:5

In the King James Version this verse is translated, “Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.”

Here is the bottom line truth, every one of us has 365 days in a year, or 8,760 hours, or 525,600 minutes, or 31,536,000 seconds.

Anyway you want to slice it, we have the same amount of time to live life.
Now, the truth is some live longer than others, but the more pressing question is, “Are you living you life to the fullest, the way God intends for you to live?”

There are far to many who waste time, misuse, time, and throw away time,
rather than redeem the time. In this generation where everyone wants more time, let me encourage you to be a good steward of the time you have.

May I advise you to follow the suggestions I read in a church newsletter
that said:
Make time to think - it is the source of power.
Make time to play - it is the key to freedom and relaxation.
Make time to work - it is the price of success.
Make time to read - it is the gateway to knowledge.
Make time to worship - it washes the dust of the earth from our eyes.
Make time to help and enjoy friends - it is the road to happiness.
Make time to love - if you don’t, it will fade away.
Make time to dream - it is the hitching your wagon to a star.
Make time to laugh - it is the music of the soul.
Make time to pray - it will lighten life’s load.
Make time to be with God - it is life’s only lasting investment.
