>From Utmost.org:
Oh, the bravery of God in trusting us! Do you say, “But He has been unwise to choose me, because there is nothing good in me and I have no value”? That is exactly why He chose you. As long as you think that you are of value to Him He cannot choose you, because you have purposes of your own to serve. But if you will allow Him to take you to the end of your own self-sufficiency, then He can choose you to go with Him “to Jerusalem” (Luke 18:31). And that will mean the fulfillment of purposes which He does not discuss with you.

We tend to say that because a person has natural ability, he will make a good Christian. It is not a matter of our equipment, but a matter of our poverty; not of what we bring with us, but of what God puts into us; not a matter of natural virtues, of strength of character, of knowledge, or of experience— all of that is of no avail in this concern. The only thing of value is being taken into the compelling purpose of God and being made His friends (see 1 Corinthians 1:26-31). God’s friendship is with people who know their poverty. He can accomplish nothing with the person who thinks that he is of use to God. As Christians we are not here for our own purpose at all— we are here for the purpose of God, and the two are not the same. We do not know what God’s compelling purpose is, but whatever happens, we must maintain our relationship with Him. We must never allow anything to damage our relationship with God, but if something does damage it, we must take the time to make it right again. The most important aspect of Christianity is not the work we do, but the relationship we maintain and the surrounding influence and qualities produced by that relationship. That is all God asks us to give our attention to, and it is the one thing that is continually under attack.

Title: Redeeming the Time Wisely

Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-16 (NIV)
“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.”

Devotion:
In today’s fast-paced world, time is a precious resource that often slips through our fingers without notice. We find ourselves caught in the fast pace of daily responsibilities, distractions, and busyness. However, the Bible provides us with valuable guidance on how to manage our time wisely.

The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians, encourages us to be careful in how we live. This caution extends to how we utilize our time. Paul reminds us that we are called to be wise stewards of the time God has given us. Just as we are entrusted with other resources (money, spiritual gifts, etc.), time is a gift from God to be managed intentionally and purposefully.

Paul’s words emphasize two key points:

1. Choose Wisdom Over Foolishness:
Wisdom entails making choices that align with God’s principles and purposes. Instead of being consumed by worldly distractions, we should seek God’s guidance in allocating our time. Wise time management involves prioritizing activities that support our spiritual growth, relationships, and service to others. (What F3 is all about)

2. Make the Most of Every Opportunity:
Time is finite, and opportunities are getting less by the day. We are urged to seize every chance to glorify God and advance His kingdom. This involves recognizing moments for spiritual growth, sharing Christ’s love, and contributing positively to the lives of others.

Consider evaluating your daily routines and habits in light of these principles. Are there areas where you could realign your priorities to reflect God’s wisdom? Are there opportunities to use your time more intentionally for His glory?

Let’s remember that time management isn’t just about increasing productivity; it’s about living purposefully for God’s purposes. By seeking His wisdom, we can transform our days from a hurried rush to a purposeful journey, using each moment to draw closer to Him and impact the world around us.
