Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,  making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. – Ephesians 5:15-16

Most of us remember the events of 9/11/2001 like it was yesterday.  It hard to imagine that it has ben 21 years since that fateful day. 21 years?!!   Can you believe it? Most people remember where they were and what they were doing on that day. It is a day that will be forever remembered in history. When we remember events like this, we usually end the discussion with the phrase “time flies”!  

That is why the Bible reminds us to “redeem the time” or “making the best use of the time”. Time is precious and once we have used it, we cannot get it back. Since no one know how much time they have on this earth, the Bible commands us to use our time wisely, making the best use of it. To make the best use of our time is to live lives that bring glory to God. To not leave till tomorrow what we can do today. Today is the day to begin a life of consistent prayer that we have always talked about, a life of consistent Bible study, that we have been praying about,  a life of service in the church, etc. Don’t leave it till tomorrow, do it now. You may not have tomorrow.  

In 50 years or less, most of us will be in eternity. Whatever you’re doing now, in words, actions and attitude, do it all to the glory of God. Live your life today like one who will give account to Christ tomorrow.

On 9/11/2001, terrorists attacked the United States by hijacking planes and flying them into buildings. Over 4,000 people died that day. In a blink, in the twinkling of an eye, many went from sitting in the plane or at their office desk, straight into eternity! Most of us know we are not promised tomorrow, but we live as if we have the promise of 50 years from now. While we know mentally that no one is promised tomorrow, and even say it, we don’t act like it. Yes, we should plan for the future, but the Lord never intended for us to live like the future is promised. In 50 years or less, most of us will be in eternity. Whatever you’re doing now, in words, actions and attitude, do it all to the glory of God. Live your life today like one who will give account to Christ tomorrow. 

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. – 1 Corinthians 10:31

Soli Deo Gloria!
