Each day, you start with a full bank account—an account filled with time. And each day, you spend all 24 hours of it. One of the smartest investments you can make is to stop and take stock: You’re paying out a lot of hours. What are you gaining in exchange?
Paul understood the value of time—and how to spend it. In Romans 13, he admonishes us to awake out of sleep—because we know the time!As urgently as he lived his life, Paul’s words are even more poignant today, when time is so short before the return of Jesus Christ! The key to redeeming our time for something of real value is to live as Christ livedin these urgent days (verses 12-14).
