Live Wisely

So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don't act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. - Ephesians 5:15-17

Be wise. Live like those who are wise. Build bridges--relationships with others who are seeking God. Build a strong relationship with God. The first thing in developing a real bond with anyone is to get to know them--to really know what they think and what they prefer to do--their aspirations in life--goals and dreams. 

To know God we can read and really study His Word. Good goal for each of us--to daily be in the Word. Do you have a plan? That is a wise decision. It would be a foolish and thoughtless action to ignore God and His guidelines for living. How can you understand what the Lord wants you to do unless you communicate with Him?

God was telling the Church at Ephesus--as well as us--that the days are evil. We can see that around us with the violence and  terrorism  occurring everyday. Make the most of every opportunity to proclaim the eternal love of the Lord...the power and mercy of God. Tell someone today how God is working in your life. Reflect on the hope that God gives you. 

Prayer ~ Lord God, guide what I think, say and do that I may live wisely. I want my life to honor you and bring you glory.  May I distinctly see opportunities to share your love and hope with others--and do that.
