Investing Your Time
Ephesians 5:7-17

Time is the most valuable commodity you can invest in.

And because time is irreplaceable [yesterday is history, nothing you can do about it but learn from it], we ought to give careful thought to how, what, where, and with whom we invest our time, talent, treasure, temple, team.

Time is a gift from God, we aren’t owners but stewards who will one day give an account for how we used what was entrusted to us.

Those who realize their days belong to God are careful how they live. They want to understand [and obey] the Lord’s will and seek His guidance each day through intimate fellowship with Him in His Word and prayer.  

But those who are foolish do not give adequate thought to the way they live. Some become unproductive and lazy, living for their own pleasures. But even those who are busy and successful by worldly standards may be wasting their time if their lives are not aligned with God’s will.  

To make the most of your opportunities, try beginning each day with the Lord, asking Him to direct your activities. None of us want to arrive in heaven and discover that although we’ve been busy investing our time, talents, treasure, temple, and team…we’ve failed to invest it for eternity.
