READ: Ephesians 5:15-17

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 44-46

MESSAGE:

A time waster is any activity you engage in that does not glorify God or hinders you from growth. Any social event encroaching on your Bible study schedule is a time waster. A person can also be a time waster. Thus, anyone who hinders you from doing productive activities or doing the will of God is a time waster. For example, friends who visit during reading or church time are time wasters. Friends who engage you in gossip when you should be busy with your assignments are time wasters also.

Proverbs 12:11 says:

“He that tilleth his hand shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding”

The Bible says: to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

Don’t waste your time on frivolities. Time wasted can never be gotten back. Set your priorities right so that you can achieve your goals.

KEY POINT

He who wastes his/her time, wastes his/her life. Be wise!

HYMN 8 – Forth In Your Name

  1. Forth in your name, O Lord, I go,
    My daily labor to pursue,
    You only, Lord, resolved to know
    In all I think or speak or do.
  2. The task your wisdom has assigned
    Here let me cheerfully fulfill;
    In all my work your presence find,
    And prove your good and perfect will.
  3. You may I set at my right hand,
    Whose eyes my inmost secrets view,
    And labor on at your command
    And offer all my work to you.
  4. Help me to bear your easy yoke
    In ev’ry moment watch and pray,
    And still to things eternal look
    And hasten to that glorious day.
  5. Then with delight may I employ
    All that your bounteous grace has given,
    And run my earthly course with joy,
    And closely walk with you in heaven.
