⁵ Act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time. ⁶ Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person. (Colossians 4:5-6 CSB)

There are books that could be written about these two simple lines of scripture. But I want to focus on the latter part of the first verse.

Much like you I expect, I work hard and a lot of hours. However, while I work so hard at my job, I cannot say that I do the same for God. Because I am so busy, I often find myself focused upon everything except God.

Now before I get into what I have written about so many times before, being busy, lets focus on time. Because lets face it, we have a finite amount of it. It is the one currency in life we spend but we have no ability to make more of.

So I would ask you one burning question; What are you investing in the eternity bank?

If I were to summarize my life in my writing as it relates to eternity it would be this. My life, from a writing standpoint, is but a period. It is a small point in time, and all the rest of the words I have written in over 1500 devotionals, and those to be written, is eternity.

My hope is that I have been investing these words in eternity, even as lowly as they are. But even so, I must constantly, ask am I making the most of the rest of my time? It is only then that I can know if I am making the most of the last line of our scripture; So that I may know how I should answer each person.
