Dailies In His Word
June 2019
“Times
are changing! Time goes so fast! Time after time we do the same things.”
Believe
it or not time is not relative, though it often feels that way. Sometimes we wish we could take back time and
live it different, but we can’t.
God
knows that sometimes we get ‘lax’ or ‘lazy’ about doing the work He has brought
us to do, and that sometimes we even get rebellious and do the wrong things.
As a
child I heard the sentence “Take that back” on a tv program and thought of how
our words can hurt others. We need to be careful of what we do, and what we say
with the time God has given us to live out on earth and we need to be sure we
live right!
Do the
things that God wants us to do the first time and we won’t have to go through
the hard stuff again and again. Use wisdom when you spend your days and nights.
Whatever
you do whether it’s with Godly friends or not, our God knows. Whether they are right choices or wrong
choices, He knows. When we make the
wrong choices they are there, we can be forgiven and we an even try to forget
but often they come back to us and stare us in the face. What we do then depends on where our peace
lies. If God is our peace then we know the best thing to do is to give it to
God, because He redeemed us with His blood and through Him, we can redeem the
time!
Through
walking the walk that is right in God’s eyes its like we can take back the time
we wasted and get right with God for the rest of our lives. If we walk in
wisdom then we can bring others to Him, in that way we can redeem the time by
saving the lost. So do the right thing, do what God would do!
Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming
the time. Let your
speech always be with
grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer
each one. Colossians 4:5-6
Heavenly Father, thank you for redeeming us, and helping us
to redeem the time we have as we use every moment of our lives to do Your plan
for us. Help us to bring others to know you that they too may have peace! In
Jesus’ name,
