Because The Days are Evil

                                                    

                                                        Because the Days are Evil

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.  Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is" (Ephesians 5:15-17).

Because the days are evil....we are to act wisely and understand what the will of the Lord is....

Earlier in Ephesians, Paul said that when he prayed for his dear friends in Ephesus, he prayed that they would have "wisdom and divine revelation" -- two gifts from God Himself -- now he tells them to walk wisely and understand God's will -- two things they can do using the gifts God has given them.

I think Paul's prayer for his friends is a prayer I can pray for my friends: that God would grant them "wisdom and divine revelation".

So I am doing that. What more could anyone need?
