Ephesians 5:15-17
Amplifed….
Therefore see that you walk carefully (living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil), not as the unwise, but as wise (sensible, intelligent, discerning people),
Making the very most of your time (on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence), because the days are (filled with) evil.
Therefore do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is.
*** WE ARE DEFINITELY CALLED TO TAKE CONTROL OF OUR LIVES. ***
*** LIVE LIFE WITH HONOR AND PURPOSE FOR GOD AND YOUR FAMILY. ***
*** DO NOT WALK WITH FRIENDS OF EVIL PRACTICES. ***
*** WE ARE TO BE WISE AND SENSIBLE, INTELLIGENT AND DISCERNING. ***
*** GRAB AHOLD OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY THAT COMES YOUR WAY! ***
*** YOU ARE CERTAINLY NOT TO LIVE AIMLESSLY, WITH NO DIRECTION. ***
*** WE ARE TO FIRMLY GRASP AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WILL OF THE LORD IS FOR OUR LIVES. ***
*** YOUR LIFE MATTERS “IN CHRIST” AND IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT TO LIVE IT THAT WAY! ***
*** WE BUILD UP OTHERS AND HELP THEM WHEN WE WALK THIS THING IN THE RIGHT WAY. ***
*** DO IT FOR JESUS, FOR YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS “IN CHRIST”.
"THE place for you to grow in grace."
