Using Time Wisely

The thing which most people don't like to give up
Is some of their time... with Jesus to sup.
They will give money or share their possessions
But will not give time to deep intercessions.

Folks who are busy with schedules too full
Sometimes will shun the Spirit's soft pull,
Knowing they need to make some adjustment,
Yet are unwilling to make an "entrustment".

Placing our time in the hands of the Lord
Will create new order and bring us reward.
He will facilitate all that we do,
Redeeming our time so it won't go askew.

Time is a gift we can use as we may,
But we cannot hoard it for it flees away.
If we commit it to use for the Lord
It will have substance and bring good reward.

"See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil."
Ephesians 5:15-16 KJV
