A Spectacle Of Glory #23

Read: Ephesians 5:15–16

There is nothing as valuable in life as an opportunity. In today’s Scripture, Paul tells us, “Be very careful, then, how you live . . . making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” We sometimes talk about making the most of our financial resources with good investments. But every day we are handed twenty-four precious hours, free of charge. If you had all the money in the world, you could not purchase a single hour. So what will you do with this priceless possession? The Bible says to use it wisely. Make the most of every open door and every chance you get to speak for Jesus or help and love people in His name. Take full advantage of the hours God gives you because once time is wasted, you can’t get it back.

Father, open my eyes to the doors You open for me today. Forgive me for imagining I have endless time and unlimited opportunities to love my family and friends or to impact their lives for You. Deep down, I know better. I know that time is fleeting and that open doors may not stay open. Awaken my heart to Your will and desire for me today.
