Pay careful attention, then, to how you live—not as unwise people but as wise—making the most of the time, because the days are evil.

So don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. (Ephesians 5:15-17)

As I read Paul’s words, I think to myself, “How am I living? Am I making the most of my time?

Each moment God gives me is an opportunity to make a difference for his kingdom. Do I take advantage of the opportunities he gives me? Am I aware of the Lord’s will in my life each day?”

It’s so easy to live for ourselves. But our time is short. When Jesus comes for us, will he find us doing what he has asked?

Or will he find us wasting our time?

We are dearly loved children of God. Jesus loved us and gave himself for us (1-2).

So let us be imitators of our Father, and walk each day, each moment, in love. Let us look, not solely at ourselves, but at God and what he’s doing around us.

And let us join in his work, touching the lives of the people he has placed in our lives, our families, our friends, our neighbors, our coworkers, and our fellow church members.

Then when we stand before God some day, he can look at us with a smile and say,

Well done, good and faithful servant! (Matthew 25:21)

Are we living each day wisely? Or unwisely?

Are we making the most of our time and opportunities? Or are we wasting them?
