Living as a Steward
Reading: Ephesians 5:15-17
Paul urges us to walk wisely and "redeem the time" because we live in challenging days. The Greek word used here is kairos—not just chronological time, but significant, God-appointed moments. We don't own our time; we manage it for God. Every breath is borrowed, every day a gift. When we shift from ownership to stewardship, we begin asking, "What does God want me to do with this moment?" Today, consider: Are you treating time as yours to control, or as God's to invest? The Master will one day ask what you did with the time He entrusted to you. Make today count.
