Acts 13:16-39, NIV

“…, “Fellow Israelites and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me! ¹⁷The God of the people of Israel chose our ancestors; he made the people prosper during their stay in Egypt; with mighty power he led them out of that country; ¹⁸for about forty years he endured their conduct in the wilderness; ¹⁹and he overthrew seven nations in Canaan, giving their land to his people as their inheritance. ²⁰All this took about 450 years.

“After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet. ²¹Then the people asked for a king, and he gave them Saul son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled forty years. ²²After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’

²³“From this man’s descendants God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as he promised. ²⁴Before the coming of Jesus, John preached repentance and baptism to all the people of Israel. ²⁵As John was completing his work, he said: ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not the one you are looking for. But there is one coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’

²⁶“Fellow children of Abraham and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent. ²⁷The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath. ²⁸Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed. ²⁹When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb. ³⁰But God raised him from the dead, ³¹and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to our people.

³²“We tell you the good news: What God promised our ancestors ³³he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm:

“ ‘You are my son;

today I have become your father.’

³⁴God raised him from the dead so that he will never be subject to decay. As God has said,

“ ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’

³⁵So it is also stated elsewhere:

“ ‘You will not let your holy one see decay.’

³⁶“Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed. ³⁷But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.

³⁸“Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. ³⁹Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.

Beautiful LORD

Jesus leads me into victory, to overcome all difficulties and sufferings,

He saved me with love, chose me into His kingdom,

O LORD!

You are my Savior, You are strength, You are the light, shining through darkness,

Bright light in the morning of  the rising sun,

You are beautiful, You are beautiful, You are good, You are so beautiful,

⁷⁹ To shine upon and give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct and guide our feet in a straight line into the way of peace.(Luke 1:79,AMP)

⁷⁷ to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, ⁷⁸ because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven ⁷⁹ to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” (Luke1:77-79,NIV)

¹¹ In this way you will be given the full right to enter the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.(2Peter 1:11,GNT)

¹⁰ Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, ¹¹ and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.(2Peter 1:10-11,NIV)

¹ I lift up my eyes to you, to you whose throne is in heaven. (Psalm 123:1)

⁴ You are beautiful, my darling, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, majestic as troops with banners.(Song of Solomon 3:4,NIV)

I love you, O LORD, my strength.(Psalm 18:1,NIV)

You are good, and what you do is good, teach me your decrees. (Psalm 119:68,NIV)

For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. 

(1 Thessalonians 5:9-10,)

…, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Thessalonians 2:13-14,)

…, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. “For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” (Acts 2:38-39,)

All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” (Acts 10:43,)

“…Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved – you and your household.” (Acts 16:31,)

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9,)

Redeem the Time

Time is one of the most valuable commodities that we have. It’s more valuable than money. You can make more money, but you can’t make more time. The scripture tells us to redeem the time. That means don’t waste it. Don’t live this day unfocused, undisciplined, and unmotivated. We have responsibility to use our time wisely. We are not always going to be there. This day is a gift. Are you living it to the fullest? With purposes and passion? Pursuing your dreams? Or are you distracted? Indifferent? Just doing whatever comes along? Are you in a job you don’t like? Hanging out with people who are pulling you down? That’s not redeeming the time; that’s wasting the time. Just like you spend money, you are spending your life. You’re either investing it or you’re wasting it.

The first step is to set goals: short-term goals and long-term goals. What do you want to accomplish this week? Where do you want to be five years from now? Do you have a plan? Are you taking steps to get there? Don’t go on another three years on a job you don’t like, doing something that you’re not passionate about. Life is flying by. This is your one shot. You don’t get a do-over. We can’t relive our twenties or thirties. Once this day is over, we can’t never get it back.

Paul said in Ephesians, “Make the most of every opportunity. Don’t be vague and thoughtless, but live purposefully and accurately.” If you are going to reach your highest potential, you have to be an “on purpose” person. You know where you’re going. You’re making the most of each opportunity. Let me put it in more practical terms: Staying on social media for hours a day and catching up on the latest gossip I not redeeming the time. Playing video for hours a day when you could be studying is not redeeming the time. Talking on the phone for hours a day to a friend who is not going anywhere and has no dreams is not redeeming the time.

God has giving you a present. It’s called “today”. What are you going to do with it? This a call to action. Get focused. Get organized. Set your goals. Make your plans. God could have chosen anyone to be here, but He chose you.{From "The Power of I AM" the book written by Joel Osteen}

Live a well-spent life. Get rid of any distractions. Invest your time wisely. Never give up. You can handle it. When negative thoughts come, the key is to never verbalize them. Refuse to give up. Your time is coming. All things will work out for your good. Trust God timing. Friend, don’t worry about your future. . Redeem your time and make sure that you are pressing on toward the goals and running with purpose. Your vindication will quickly come. You will fulfill your destiny.
