God is impressing on me that seizing the day and being wise with my time and opportunities is a key theme for this fall. "Don't waste it!" My scripture verse directly applies to this theme. I am posting several different versions because they each have a powerful message but I am memorizing the NLT verse. The Message really spoke to me so here is the whole passage.
Eph 5:11-16 Msg
Don't waste your time on useless work, mere busywork, the barren pursuits of darkness. Expose these things for the sham they are. It's a scandal when people waste their lives on things they must do in the darkness where no one will see. Rip the cover off those frauds and see how attractive they look in the light of Christ. Wake up from your sleep, Climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you the light! So watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times
Ephesians 5:16
NLT: Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
Amplified: Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil.
