Ephesians 5:15-17
“See then you walk circumspectly, NOT as fools do, but as the wise. Reedeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do NOT be unwise but understand what the will of the Lord is.”
Paul writes this letter to the Ephesian church, while being imprisoned in Rome, and says be careful. Walk in obedience, do what is right, and pleasing to the father. Don't walk in a manner leaving yourself septible to outside influences. Take advantage of the time you have, and use it to serve. I mean Paul, while being imprisoned, says this! Hes applying it to the fullest extent. Walk in wisdom. Walk like Jesus.
Deut 4:6 says, “Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the people's who will hear all the statutes and say 'Surely this great Nation is a wise and understanding people.” After receiving many commands from God, this nation (Israel) had one main thing to do: observe And apply. Do we want people to see all that God has done for us? God sure does. Do we want people to see that we are wise and understanding of God's word? God sure does.
With everything that's going on in today's society, or our personal lives, it's hard to walk with your chin up and head high. Past mistakes, shame, guilt, regret, selfishisness, pride, envy, anger, the list goes on, it's hard, not to let our own self ambitions, along with secular influences get in the way of our walks with Christ. But, God. He lets us know, that we CAN NOT do it on our own. Hebrews 6:19 reminds us that, “ This HOPE is an anchor for the soul, both sure and steadfast, which enters the presence behind the veil.” Our very HOPE is in the presence of the Almighty, which dewlls in the Most Holy Place.
I need to walk circumspectly. Not once or twice a week. Three or four hours a day. But all day everyday. 24/7. So how do I do that.? Micah 6:8 explains it so clearly “ He has shown you O man what is good. And what does the LORD require of you. To do what is just, to love mercifully, and to walk humbly with your God. “ Consecrate.
I want to continue to hear his voice. I will be fasting from tech for another week.
