See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15,16 KJV
Visions are a guide.
They are most used to provide a sense of purpose.
Some have a mental picture while there are others who write them down.
Both can be used to direct our actions.
To help keep us on track.
We all know that time is a priceless gift from the Master.
We are to guard it with care and us it wisely (Ephesians 5:15,16 KJV).
The Lord has told us, “Write down the vision And inscribe it clearly on tablets, So that one who reads it may run” (Habakkuk 2:2 NASB).
The Lord is always speaking to each of us.
He is always giving each of us something to write down and make the proper plans to accomplish them.
Each day we are not waste time, but to redeem it. To use every bit of it fulfilling our purpose in life.
The Word is our guide.
“For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope” (Romans 15:4 NIV).
When we feel ourselves becoming distracted, we should take care to maintain purity in our hearts and life.
Time is a valuable talent given us by God.
One that is not to be misspent.
It is forever lost when not employed according to His design.
Let s follow the example of the Lord.
He said, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work” (John 9:4 KJV).
There is an old gospel song that the title says it all.
It is “Don’t Let Him Catch You with Your Work Undone.”
Because we no one knows the day or hour of His return.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Father, we know that there is a purpose for our lives. That You desire that we use the time You have given us wisely. When we do not it cannot be redeemed. We must work even harder to try to make it up. By faith we will make it our goal not to sin against You. To fulfill our duties to You and others. Working daily to promote Your glory.
In Jesus’ Name We Pray, Amen
