You Can’t Get More Time – How are you spending yours?
Has the Holy Spirit been convicting you about time? About how you are spending it? About what fills your days and occupies your attention?
We often say we are “spending time” doing something. In reality, that phrase is more accurate than we may realize.
We are SPENDING time.
In many ways, it’s similar to how we spend money. Yet there is a significant difference between the two. Money can be earned again. Possessions can be replaced. But time cannot be recovered once it has been spent.
We cannot earn more time, nor can we buy more of it.
Scripture calls believers to live with this reality in mind. The apostle Paul writes:
“Pay careful attention, then, to how you live—not as unwise people but as wise—making the most of the time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:15–16).
Time is a gift entrusted to us by God. Each day is an opportunity to live in obedience, pursue righteousness, and invest in things that have eternal value.
Psalm 90:12 reminds us:
“Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.”
When we understand the brevity of life, we begin to see time differently. The question is no longer simply how we are spending our time, but whether we are using it in a way that honors the Lord and prepares us for eternity.
