MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT!
Read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
MEMORISE
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1)*
EXPOSITION
Time is an important factor in life, regardless of whether people try to de-emphasise its relevance. Everything in life, including our lives and works, is timed (cf. Eccl. 9:10). In some countries of the world, workers are hourly paid. Time can either be invested, or wasted, depending on its user. We need to make time maximally count, because we don’t have all the time. Time is so important to God that He sent His Son at the appointed time (Rom. 5:6; Gal. 4:4).
Queen Esther’s timely intervention with her good office brought down God’s hand to save her people (Esth. 5:4ff). Christians should be conscious of time, as Christ’s return is imminent (Rom. 13:11,12). Waking up early in the morning without a definite plan for that day, means that whatever comes across your way, that day, is welcomed. This is unbecoming for the one aiming for excellence in life, as well as the heaven-conscious.
How do you spend your time? Time is money. Are you aware that anytime spent usefully or otherwise cannot be called back? How much time do you apportion for your devotion to God, your vocation, business, ministry, home, social activities, relaxation or recreation? Some activities are time-consuming with little, or no returns. Some consume your hard-earned money with no profit!
You make your life count by being mindful of time and making the most of all opportunities (Eph. 5:16). The onus is on you to be wisely decisive, always, as to the use of your time. You need the help of the Holy Spirit.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Ask God for forgiveness as touching the times and opportunities you have wasted in the past.
2. Pray for God’s grace, by His Spirit, to make your life count till eternity.
3. Pray that God should reorient Christians as to the God-glorifying way to celebrate birthday, focusing our attention on the Last Day
*EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Psalms 72:18 - 75:9; Romans 16:1 - 16:22*
