Life is SOOO short. We are a vapor. Here today, gone tomorrow (Isaiah 40:6-7). It’s such a short amount of time and every moment counts for His glory.
Redeeming the time simply means to really consider our lives in light of this truth.
Putting it in perspective, if you knew you only had 5 years to live, how would you spend time for God? What would you do to spend that time the best you possibly could, knowing that the rest of your existence cannot be changed after you are deceased? What we do on earth matters. How would your life look different than it does now? What would you change?
Honestly, because life is NOT promised to us, we should ALWAYS be living in light of that fact. We do not know how much more time we have and whatever time we DO have left, we should really consider how we spend it very, very carefully, for the honor and glory of our Lord.
What things in your life aren’t so important that you spend a lot of time on? What would you want to do more of, for His kingdom?
Living your life with those priorities in mind is vital in the life on fire for Christ. Paul decided he wanted to live his life in this way: Hebrews 12:1-3 and it is good that we should all do the same.
