The Wise And Foolish

Ephesians 5:15-17
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Understanding what the will of the Lord is, “is found in all that is good and right and true” (Ephesians 5:9). If we do not understand what the will of the Lord is, then we are foolish. We are also foolish if we are not looking carefully at how we walk. We are foolish if we are not making the best use of our time.

We are wise if we do understand what the will of the Lord is. We are also wise if we are looking carefully at our life, and observing what our walk is like. Again, we are wise if we are making the best use of our time.

I hope the will of the Lord speaks to you this day as you sit under the preached word of God. I hope it causes you to think more carefully about your life. I hope you spend some time looking at the minutes of your day to see if there are any that are not used to the glory of God. Speak to us O Lord, for we are a needy people.
