“So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days” (Ephesians 5:15-16, NLT).
Time is the most valuable commodity in life that we have. It’s more valuable than money. You can make more money, but you can’t make more time. When you woke up this morning, God gave you a present called “today.” And with that gift comes a responsibility. The Scripture tells us to redeem the time, to make the most of every opportunity. That simply means don’t let it go to waste. Don’t live this day unfocused, unhappy, negative, or defeated. Make the most of every day. God has entrusted you with His life. He has breathed His very breath into you. He has put gifts and talents on the inside of you. You have seeds of greatness deposited in you. You’re a person of destiny, and you have an assignment and a purpose to fulfill.
I encourage you today to evaluate how you are spending your time. Refocus your life. Let go of any distractions. Shake off any self-pity, any discouragement, any disappointments of the past and run your race with purpose. Be careful how you live and redeem the time so that you can fulfill the destiny He has prepared for you.
Jesus is gentle and humble in heart. He does not preach at us or lay a guilt trip on us for getting into the jam we are in. He quietly takes the burden away and gives us his warm, sweet presence in return. What a great exchange that is! We trade our heavy burdens for his sweet presence. That is an offer we need to take advantage of immediately. Do it now! Pray to ask Him to be your Burden Bearer and your Strong Deliverer. Then just walk along beside Him as you bask in the light of His nearness.
Walk with God today. Trust Him completely and be a blessing.
i agree!

I just love how Darlene isn’t afraid to just let the Spirit consume her. I’ve already seen her in action in a Hillsong concert 2 years ago, and golly, her passion for God is just overwhelming and absolutely contagious! She’s a great worship leader, and I pray that someday I’ll be leading people to Christ just like her through music as well. ♥
When the devil tempted Jesus, Jesus turned the Word of God on him, saying, “It is written… It is written… It is written…” (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10)
