“Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.” (Ephesians 5:16)
Mostly, our blessings come in the form of opportunities. The way we utilize each opportunity determines our next level in life. I cannot overemphasize that one of the greatest lessons to keep in mind in this life is that every opportunity has an expiry date.
Time and chance (opportunities) have been given to all of us. The way we treat our chances today determines our tomorrow. Ultimately, the way we manage our time, determines what becomes of us.
King James rendered the above verses as follows:
“Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”
In other words, King James has equated “making the most of every opportunity” to “redeeming the time.”
The word redeem means to rescue from loss. We are living in a day where we can easily lose our time to many distractions and fruitless activities.
We are being called upon to redeem our time, and thus make the most of the opportunities God gives to us. Never forget that your promotion lies in the successful management of your opportunities.
Remain inspired!
