Biblical Answer

Spiritual guidance powered by AI and grounded in Scripture

Your Question:

Is there a way to make up for lost time?

Answer:

As a pastor of a local evangelical church, I've had my fair share of reflecting on the importance of time and its use. According to Psalm 90:12, we're encouraged to make the most of the time we have, and Ephesians 5:15-16 reminds us to make the most of every opportunity. These scriptures suggest that time is precious, and we should strive to use it wisely.

Jonathan Edwards' famous resolution to improve every moment of time is a great example of how we can make the most of our time. While cultures may view time differently, the essence of Edwards' resolution is to make the most of every moment. In our daily lives, we often get caught up in trying to fit too many things into one moment, but that's exactly what happens when we live in the present. As we go about our day, we have moments to be grateful, to serve others, and to seek God's guidance.

In my own life, I've learned to appreciate the importance of making the most of every moment. As a husband, father, and pastor, I have many responsibilities, but I strive to use my time wisely. Whether it's spending quality time with my family, preparing for a sermon, or simply enjoying a hobby like playing chess, I try to make the most of every moment. By doing so, I'm reminded of the value of time and the opportunities that come with it.
