Ephesians 5:16-18 [NLT] ‘Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit’.

DAILY READING; John 6:22-59; 1 Chronicles 24; Zechariah10

The invention of modern clocks we use today is credited to Peter Henlein a clockmaker from Nuremberg, Germany.
Events in his life might have prompted Peter Henlein to value the use of time and invent a way for easily measuring it.
He was born in 1485, and it appeared that in his early adulthood, while working as a watch maker, he had lived a reckless life. The result of his unstable life resulted in his getting eventually married to three different women.
However an event that happened on September 7, 1504, drastically changed the course of his life.
On that day, he got involved in a brawl and during the fight a person was killed. As one of the accused, Peter asked for and received asylum in the Franciscan Monastery of Nuremberg. There he lived for the next four years.
This monastery had a history as a center of scientific and astronomical knowledge and it afforded Peter Henlein the opportunity to seek deeper knowledge of the craft of clock making.
His time at the monastery must also have been spent in sober reflection, which prompted him to take a decision to make judicious use of his remaining time on earth. After a year of being at the monastery, in 1505, Peter Henlein invented the world’s first watch, a fire-gilded pomander.
When he came out in 1508, by the following year, in November 1509, he became a master in the city’s locksmith guild, making portable expensive ornamental clocks for the nobility of his day. The rest of his life was spent in making remarkable strides in his career which established him in history as “the father of the modern clock” and “the originator of the entire clock making industry”. Due to his invention, today, it is easy to see what time it is by just checking your cellphone or your wristwatch;

To get control of your life you must first get control of your time. Rather than living unfocused and undisciplined lives, we are to redirect each minute of our lives toward a worthy purpose.
The truth is that we are on earth to fulfill a particular destiny and calling, within a limited space of time. Therefore in this world, time is one of our most valuable commodities. Time is more valuable than money because while you can make more money, you can’t make more time.
You’re either investing time or wasting it.
Wasted time is very costly because every lost minute is gone forever.
Those who accomplish great things are those who have learned to utilize their time and set their priorities in order.
Ephesians 5:16-18 [NLT] ‘Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.’

If you’re going to reach your highest potential you have to be an on-purpose person. While we may have options of various pursuits in life, what is most important is investing our time to run in the path of our divine calling.
Proverbs 4:18 says ‘the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.’
This means that the path God has ordained for us is already programmed to keep shinning, brighter and brighter. Therefore when we follow God’s preordained path, making wise use of our time, we will keep experiencing greater open doors and ascending higher heights of glory..

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to begin to make good use of my time. Help me to focus on what matters, and not on frivolities. Let being obedient to Your instructions be always top priority in my life in Jesus’ Name.
