Redeem the Time

Redeem the Time

Tuesday

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
— Ephesians 5:16 (ESV)

So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
— Psalm 90:12 (ESV)
"Making the best use of the time, because the days are evil." The days are evil. That is not a pessimistic opinion; it is a biblical fact. We live in a world saturated with temptation, distraction, and deception. The question is not whether the days are evil but what we are going to do about it.

Moses prayed in Psalm 90:12, "So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom." Numbering our days means recognizing that our time is limited and precious. Every hour is a gift. Every day is an opportunity. The wise person treats time like a precious commodity and invests it in things of eternal value.

Think about your average day. How much of it is consumed by things that have no eternal significance? How much of it is invested in knowing God, serving others, and advancing the gospel? This is not about being busy. It is about being intentional. The evil days will try to swallow your time in meaningless pursuits. Redeem it. Buy it back. Invest it in the kingdom.
Reflect:
If you had to give an account of how you spent your time this past week, would you be satisfied?
What is one practical change you can make today to redeem your time?
