"See then that ye walk circumspectly,
not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time,
because the days are evil.
Wherefore be ye not unwise,
but understanding what the will of the Lord is."
Ephesians 5:15-17
 
No Time for Time-Outs!
 
I don't know a whole lot about sports.
I don't take the time to watch them on television,
but I have watched a few games of
various sports on the ball parks in the past.
I have noticed one thing that they all seem to
take advantage of when they are behind
on the scoreboard . . . use of their "time-outs!"
 
They can gain a few minutes respite with a time-out.
But life does not work that way.
There is no way that we can stop the clock
to think about our problems.
We cannot save, store, or stretch time.
We may use or we may abuse time,
but the clock keeps on ticking ~ inexorably.
We can only plan how to spend the time
given to us in a wise manner.
And we should be doing this with the Lord in mind,
reflecting on what would be
that pleasing, perfect will of God.
 
May the good Lord bless and keep you
as you reflect on the time you are spending
in His presence and service
