Day 3: Redeeming the Time

Paul uses the Greek word ‘exagorazō’ — a marketplace term meaning to buy something back, to rescue it from the market. It’s the same word used when Scripture says Christ redeemed us. Paul is saying your time is in a marketplace, and there are things competing to buy it, consume it, and own it. Wise people don’t just let time happen to them — they go into the market and buy it back. They make intentional, deliberate choices about where their time goes. You can’t redeem yesterday, but you can redeem today.
