As an individual, you are at one season or the other in life. It is therefore paramount that you know what season you're in and understand what is required from you so as to live life maximally.
15 Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people), 16 Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil. - Ephesians 5:15-16.
From the above scripture, every time and opportunity must be maximised. But how can you maximise something you have no idea of? Your earthly age is a good indication of which season you're in. From birth till your youth, you need to have met with Jesus. Knowing Jesus and having a close relationship with Him at this season makes a huge difference in how your life would turn out. If you look through scriptures, you would see that many men and women who were mightily used by God had known God from a young age. Examples are Daniel, David, Joseph, Esther, Mary, and so on. Their knowledge of God at an early age was what helped to shape their lives in every decision that they took. Abraham, who was called by God at a later age, didn't have that privilege of serving God in His youth even though we all know how close he was with God. In essence, whatever phase of life you're in, either as a youth or as an elderly person, you need to maximise that season.
32 Of the tribe of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, two hundred chiefs; and all their relatives were at their command; - 1 Chronicles 12:32(AMP)
If you are born again, you are of God! God has given you the unction by His Holy Spirit to know all things (1 John 2:20). By 'all things' , you've been given the mind of Christ to understand the times and harmed with the knowledge and wisdom of God in making and taking decisions. Stop wasting time or looking for theperfect season to do God's will. You're currently at one season and God wants you to maximise it. If you're young, now is the time to take God seriously. He alone can help you set up the right foundation for your future. The world is getting darker and darker, and it is only the light of the gospel, and the light from the glory you contact in your place of fellowship with the father that would make you stand out and stand firm. If you're past this season, and/or you feel you've wasted time in your youth, you're equally in a season that you can maximise to gain back those years. God is all merciful and so gracious. He holds time in His hands. Key into God in these evening or late phase of your life. Take time to know God more through the study, meditation and prayers of God's word. As you look into the word and allow it change you (1 Corinthians 3:18), you would locate your season and receive the wisdom in living maximally in line with God's plan and will for your life. God is waiting...
Have a blessed week.
