"Redeeming the Time"

In his book "Lest Ye Faint", Franklin Logston tells the story of a chapel service in a Christian College in which the president of that college challenged all the students. He said, “I have just received a telephone message bearing sad news. A fine young man who graduated from this school three years ago has died suddenly.”

No one said a word as his eyes slowly scanned the students and asked, “If all you desire to do, if all you hope to do, had to be crowded into three short years, what would you do differently today?”

What a powerful question that is. But I would like to take it just one step further than that. If all you desire to do for the Lord, and all you hope to do for Him, had to be crowded into this coming year, what would you do differently today?

What will be accomplished for the Lord will depend on what we do TODAY. Are we seizing the Opportunities that come our way - are we “Redeeming the time”?

Let’s seize every opportunity that comes our way together. I encourage you to keep your eyes wide open and seize the opportunities that come your way.
