I Thessalonians 4:10b
But we urge
you, brethren, that you increase more and more;

We live on
earth temporarily, not forever. It means, our time on earth is limited.
Therefore, we have to spend time wisely. Many people don’t realize that they
waste time.
Remember
that this life consists of a lot of opportunities, and the present is an
opportunity God has given us. What is opportunity? An opportunity or an
opportune moment is kairos. Kairos is an ancient Greek word meaning the
suitable time for something to happen or occur, which is not to be repeated in
the future.
That’s why
we should not procrastinate to do the best we can during the opportunity given
by God. In the future, there will be more difficult times, but we should
believe that God is always with us. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 5:14-17
that we have to live as wise, not as unwise people. The wise always has an
opportunity in the midst of adversity while the unwise always has difficulty in
the midst of an opportunity.
Let us keep
praying and build intimacy (have a closer relationship) with God instead of
staying in the comfort zone. Do not brag about ourselves, because you do not
know what tomorrow may bring.
