WISE LIVING
Eph. 5:15 So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise.
How careful are you about how you live? Do you live with a purpose or do you wander through life aimlessly? Do you plan out your activities, or do you just take things as they come and hope that they turn out alright? Do you take measures to improve your character and quality of life, or do you leave them to chance? Do you protect yourself from harmful or evil influences, or do you foolishly try to wade your way through them? Do you feed your soul consistently with godly things, or do you seek them out only when you need them?
Wisdom tells us to seek the Lord while He may be found. The wise person does not play games with his soul. He purposely seeks out the Lord and His wise counsel for living. He is never satisfied with his relationship with God, but always strives to grow closer to Him. The wise person understands the frailness of the soul and seeks ways to make it strong. The wise person understands the frailness of life and does not wait for another, more convenient time, to live for Christ. The wise person keeps his eyes fixed on the Lord and not the circumstances or people around him. Wise is he who believes that life is all about our relationship with the Lord and our preparations for Judgment Day.
Again, how careful are you about how you are living? Does wisdom dictate how you live or are you living like a fool?
