Living wisely

— Ephesians 5:15-16 —
Be very careful, then, how you live — not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
__________________________

Live carefully. This means thoughtfully, intentionally, and according to the will of God revealed in Scripture. In the broadest sense, it means that you make the most of the time that you have by living according to your God-given purpose. This is important, not only because it is right, but also because the days are evil. The world, the flesh, and the Devil are working against the purpose for your life and seeking your ruin! Careful living is the intentional use of your time for God's glory, the good of others, and your own progress in the faith. It is living for a purpose that takes both the end and the journey seriously.
