Redeeming Time: Making the Most of Every Opportunity
"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 (ESV)
By default, it is easy to be consumed by endless tasks and obligations. While today’s obligations may not qualify as evil, they can certainly be mundane. Heavy. Maybe even draining. In the middle of these demands, what is in your control? Or better yet, how can these obligations be surrendered to God’s control? Perhaps we simply need to pause and appreciate the significance of each passing moment, taking a few minutes to reflect on undeserved blessings. Using some discretionary time to show care for others and allocating our time thoughtfully, acknowledging it is precious.
Consider obligations to actually be opportunities - opportunities to not just accomplish a task but to connect with others, extend kindness, exemplify the fruits of the Spirit and embrace meaningful interactions. We can engage differently with our family, friends, co-workers and in our community when we intentionally go beyond mere obligations.
We all have the same 24 hours in a day, but what if we purposefully shift our perspective? How can our day look different if we viewed time not as a sequence of tasks but as divine appointments waiting to be seized?
If our obligations are aligned with God's purposes, we can more easily redeem them as opportunities to reflect His love and grace making each moment count in accordance with God's wisdom.

Lord, As I create space for prayer and reflection, change my perspective. Remind me every moment is a gift from You! Help my heart cherish opportunities and redeem them for Your glory.
