𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝,

I know we all long to do what we want, go where we want, say what we want, believe what we want, marry who we want, wear what we want...and the list goes on and on. But is that wise? How much can you trust your own decisions? Have you always been safe just doing only what you want to do? Have you always got it right by following your feelings and choices? Have you set out to make every opportunity count even when you don't feel like doing it?

What the enemy fears the most is time. Simply because he does not have time, and has no control over times and seasons, he would do all he can to make us waste the time we have. Beyond being afraid of time, he is even more afraid of the people who can redeem the time. 

Foolish people do not count time, they care less about the time they have. They do what they want to do as long as it feels good. They keep no record of time. They don't time themselves with what they have to do. Foolish people don't walk with time. They do not walk circumspectly. 𝑭𝒐𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆.

God has not called us to redeem 'Time' (only God can do that), but He has called us to redeem 'The Time'. The word 'The' makes the time a definite time. 

So what time are we to redeem? 

We are to redeem the time we are in. The present time. We are not ignorant that darkness is eating up the time, but we can still redeem it by getting up and make wise decisions.

No matter how much we want to go into the future or the past to set right what will be or what has been done wrong, we can't. The only time we can redeem is the one we have (the present time). Because the days are evil, we cannot let evil creep in and make us waste every opportunity we have to set things right.
