"15. See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise. 16. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is."
Part of walking carefully and wisely and to "redeem the time" or making the best use of time, is to seek, know and understand the will of God. We Christians are in this service for God, whether it be a Sunday School class, singing in the choir, preaching, etc. etc. etc. Knowing and understanding God's will is for all Christians. How can we know the will of God? Except for the Bible there is no manual for knowing God's will. That answer comes through spending time with the Lord in prayer and really seeking to know what His will is. His answer is not always what we would expect, but that is part of the joy and challenge of serving Him. All I can tell you is that when you really want to know His will, and seek it heartfully, you will receive an answer in your heart and mind. If you've tried it, you will know that I mean. He is God and He will let you know His will. Try it! When you know God's will, do it with all of your heart. Whatever God's will for you is it is important, or He would not want you to do it. I repeat: If God wants you to do it, it is important. When you know God's will, do it thankfully. I have learned to be thankful just because He still wants to use me. Believe me, if you belong to Him in Christ, He wants to use you. When you know What God's will is, do what you have to do in order to do His will. God will make a way for you when you sincerely seek His will. When you know God's will for you, do it joyfully. There is no more joyful feeling in the world than knowing that you are doing what God wants you to do. I hope that you will seriously consider seeking God's will for your life. If you are serving in His will, rejoice and be glad. If you want to "redeem the time," or make good use of your time seek His will, obey it and be thankful that He is using you in whatever it is that He wants you to do. Seek God's will for your life.
