Read Ephesians 5:15-20. The writer urges us to "make the most of the time (literally, to redeem or buy back the time)." As you reflect on your past, what time have you used well? What time have you abused, or what amount of your time have others abused?
The writer gives 5 admonitions about buying back the time, i.e. taking responsibility for it:
1. Be conscious of time as God's time, that is, be fully aware of the passing of time.
2. Allow God's Spirit to give you strength and guidance for the good use of time.
3. Gauge your words carefully, knowing that your words construct the social reality that you and others experience in time and space.
4. Let all words and deeds be acts of worship that honor God and love neighbor.
5. Live a life of thanks giving.
Think deeply about what all this might mean for you, and please post your blog.
