15Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. Eph 5:15-17
This is one of my favorite scripture passages, and I just reread it again tonight. If you're like me then you believe scripture is infallible, inerrant and authoritative. That said, what a powerful message this is. We need to be careful how we live, we need to live as the wise live and make the most of each and every opportunity, and furthermore we should not be foolish. How does Scripture tell us to do this, by knowing what the Lord's will is. That begs the big question: how do we know what the Lord's will is?
Sounds like a daunting job, but if we in earnest effort pray "the fervent effectual prayers of a righteous man availeth much" and stay in the Word, "draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you", we can begin to understand what the Lord's will is.
Make the most of your time, make the most of your opportunities, don't be foolish and learn what the Lord's will is. Quite a challenge, are you up for it?
