Isaiah 65: 17-25, Isaiah 66, Ephesians 5, Psalm 148: 7-14
Ephesians 5: 15-16 (ESV)
“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as
wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.”
In verses 5 and 6 from Ephesians 5, Paul writes to the
church of Ephesus that believers need to be intentional in their life and live
a life that reflects Father-God’s will. We need to read the Bible so we can
learn how to make wise choices, because the Bible is replete with how to live
wisely. We can learn to live according to Father-God’s principles as laid out in the
Bible. Paul tells us we need to also make the best use of our time and become stewards of it. Time is a gift from Father-God, and we need to manage it wisely.
We need to make the most of every opportunity that is given to us to do Father-God's will, because the world is full of challenges that are moral and spiritual. We
need to make sure our time is spent in daily activities that align with our
faith and values.
I like Paul’s concept that since time is a gift from Father-God,
we need to be good stewards of it and make sure we are using it to do Father-God’s
will on earth. I also like that Paul tells us to be wise, because the concept
of wisdom is mentioned so much in the Bible. Lastly, Paul reminds us that the
world we live in is characterized by sin and full of things that are in opposition
to the principles in the Bible. I am grateful that I have the help and guidance
of the Holy Spirit to live an intentional life that is dedicated to doing the
will of Father-God for my life.
If you found encouragement in my reflections on these Bible
verses, and through your faith in Jesus Christ, you want to live an intentional
life focused on doing the will of Father-God for your life, then I invite you
to pray the following prayer aloud:
Heavenly Father, I want to give you my Life. Forgive me of
all of my sins. Wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart You raised Jesus
from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right
now, I receive forgiveness by the blood of Jesus. I am saved, I am forgiven, I
am clean, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of
Father-God! Do yourself a favor and find and join a Holy Spirit-filled, full
Gospel, Bible-based church where you can hear the words of Father-God preached
and experience signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
