#1,034: Don't Waste Your Opportunities

The 5 Minute Discipleship Podcast

The Bible has a lot to say about time. The most important thing it says is something we know already—that our time is limited. Time can be used or wasted, it can be invested or squandered, but either way, once used, it can never be regained. Time matters because we have such a limited supply.

Main Points:

1. We always have plenty of time to do everything we need to do. This means that all of my time belongs to God, and therefore how I spend my days is a sacred issue. Someday you and I will answer for what I did today.
2. The truth is most people know the right thing to do. You know the right thing to do. It’s just we put it off. We delay. We don’t do it. We say tomorrow. Later. Someday I’ll… “One of these days I’ll get around to it.” We keep putting things off.
3. I encourage you to count the cost. Count the cost of your delay. There’s always a cost in delay. There’s always a price tag that goes along with procrastination. You have one life to live for God. Don’t waste the opportunities God is giving you.

Today’s Scripture Verses:

Ecclesiastes 3:1-4:
"There is a time for everything,
And a season for every activity under heaven:
A time to be born and a time to die,
A time to plant and a time to uproot,
A time to kill and a time to heal,
A time to tear down and a time to build,
A time to weep and a time to laugh,
A time to mourn and a time to dance."
Ephesians 5:15-16 – “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.”
