MORNING MANNA 2-11-24
WALKING WISELY
Ephesians 5:15-17 says, “ See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.“
This is a wonderful passage of Scripture to consider….. I want you to notice a few things about these verses as they pertain to how a person should walk and why he or she should walk in a wise manner.
First of all, there is a difference in how a Christian should live their lives as opposed to a nonbeliever. There is more to the Christian life than talk, and that is our walk….There is an old mountain expression that is used when someone would ask another person, “How is it going?” The reply is, “It is going the way it is headed!” which means, “Wherever I am walking in life is my destination.” If you are not consciously thinking about honoring Christ with your life, chances are you are not going to do it. A wise person knows where they are headed.
Second, the Bible talks about making the most of “your time.” Human beings love to measure time. We wear watches to tell us what time it is in the present, we read books to tell us about time in the past, we use calendars to make us aware of time in the future. It seems that “time” is endless. However, you and I have a certain amount of time allotted to us, and the Bible tells us to make the most “your time.” How are you going to use your time…. I pray that you walk in a manner pleasing to Jesus Christ, and make the most of what He has given you. Remember, don’t give in to sin. Think about! (Revised from an article by Vince Hefner)
