How Can We Make Our Days Count Before Jehovah?

How Can We Make Our Days Count Before Jehovah?

“Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever!”—Lydia H. Sigourney, American author (1791-1865).

Wise use of our time comes only after we are keenly aware of its value. Aptly, Ephesians 5:16 urges us to ‘buy out the opportune time for ourselves,’ and this implies “purchasing” it, forgoing less important things. 

It means reducing time-wasting pursuits. Too much television viewing or surfing of the Internet, reading of unprofitable secular material, or the excessive pursuit of recreation and entertainment can leave us exhausted. 

Additionally, an inordinate accumulation of material possessions can consume the time needed to acquire a heart of wisdom.

We delight to obey Jehovah’s commandments, for doing so is not a burden. (1 John 5:3) 

As we make each day count before Jehovah, we strengthen our relationship with him. We also become a true spiritual support to our fellow Christians. Such actions make Jehovah God glad. (Proverbs 27:11) 

There is no greater reward than to enjoy JehovahÂ’s approval now and forever!
