Be
very careful, then how you live not as unwise but as wise, making the most of
every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be foolish, but
understand what the lords will is. (NIV)
Its
not difficult to see that the time is evil, we don’t have to look past our
country to see that. From abortion and plant parenthood to our politics, from
our school system to our churches, to the movie we watch and video games we
play, its not hard to see that society is jacked up and going to hell in a hand
basket if people don’t repent. But, I don’t think Paul just wants me to focus
on the problems of my generation cause people already do that and do nothing
about it and look where we’re at but, that’s not the point. Paul says to redeem
the time because the days are evil. That’s why we got to understand what God’
will is in our life and not to waste time like so many people our doing but to
have a since of urgency because God is coming back, and a lot of people are
going to go to hell if they don’t accept Jesus and its not just for a period,
but an eternity separated from God. That’s why we need to apply the verse of
asking for wisdom cause Paul here says we need to live not as the unwise but as
the wise.
Application:
That is why I will continue to pray for wisdom everyday
but, also seek God’ will for my life and
submit to him when he tells me and repent when I don’t.
