On Eating Dead Bugs

12/4/2020

 
“What is it doing?” I squinted from the car, spying on a nondescript parking lot bird. It had climbed up into the Jeep’s grill next to me until only its tail feathers stuck out. Duh! It was eating all the dead bugs off the front of the car. Yuck!
Not even two feet away were live bugs in the grass and bushes. Lazy? Yes. But smart – those dead bugs are easier to “catch” and eat – the same nutrition in a fraction of the time. This was prudent bird-brain using his time wisely. A prudent Christian does the same.
Even if we live 100 years – life is short. Every decision to do (or not do) something uses or saves part of your life. Is that movie, TV series, or book worth the investment of time? What about this hobby, craft or project? More often than not, the answer is: No or not really.
My bird friend was redeeming his time. I don’t know what else he was planning to do with his time (besides eat more :0).  But I can think of many things I could do if I could glean more time.  I think I need to go find those dead bugs!
“…redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” – Ephesians 5:16
