Our Scripture reading today is Ephesians 5:16, "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil."
We all have the same amount of time in a day, a week, or a month. Some people have "tried" to get 25 hours out of a day, but is is simply impossible. What we don't the same amount of time in, is a lifetime. My lifetime will not be the same as yours and this could be said about any comparison. The emphasis of our verse today isn't on the amount of time we have, but it is on what we are doing with our time. Time gets used up so quickly. If we invest our time in eternity, time is never wasted. Time invested in eternity will have a lasting return that brings glory to God.
Take an evaluation on what you are doing with your 168 hours this week. A challenge that we should all take is to see how much wasted time can be turned into eternal investments.
