Redeem the time!!
Ecclesiastes 12:1
Remember your creator in the days of your youth before the evil days come….
“Redeem the time” means make good use of the time you have now because you will not always have it.
You may grow old:
– And have more responsibilities and less time for the work of God.
– And lose your enthusiasim and strength to won souls.
The verse above says remember your creator in the days of your youth, meaning do all you can for God whilst you are young:
– And have less responsibilities and more time to work for God
-And have more enthusiasm and strength to promote the Gospel.
Scripture also says in 2Timothy 4:2 that
Preach the word, be instant in season and out of season, exhort, rebuke…… (Paraphrased)
Work for God now while you can whether you are young or old.
Ephesians 5:16-17
….. Redeem the time for the days are evil.
This verse from the new testament re-emphasizes that we should redeem the time or make the best use of the time we have because the days are evil.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Win souls for God now.
Prayer
Let this hymn be your prayer
Work for the night is coming
Work through the morning sun
Fill brightest hours with labor
Rest comes sure and
soon
Give to each fleeting moment
Something to keep in store
Work for the night is coming
When man works no more.
Amen
