The most expensive resource any person has is time. Time is the supreme premium. It is fleeting and limited. We only have so much time and, considering that there are certain things like sleeping and eating, how we use our time is of utmost importance. Because of the extreme significance of this ultimate and expensive resource, we should be conscious of how we use the limited time we have ben blessed with.
There are several relevant passages in this regard, but Paul's words in Ephesians 5:15-16 seem to hit the nail squarely on its head. It comes down to this simple but sobering assertion: make the best possible use of your time, because the days are evil. To be sure, time is amoral, but how we use time, what we choose to fill our time with, speaks volumes to our devotion and faith.
Because time is so precious and finite, we should be very aware of what we do and do not do in our limited time allowances. This needs to be an active undertaking. If we simply "go with the flow" not only will we not grow to the degree that God desires of us but, and much more importantly, we will not live out a life of ardently loving God, because it necessitates active faith and obedience. Therefore, let us be sober-minded in our pursuit of godly time management so as to grow more in the likeness of God's Son, Chris Jesus!
