"Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
Don't act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord
wants you do do."
Ephesians 5:16-17
I was just reading these verses in Ephesians and I thought it might be a nice reminder today to keep these words in my mind. Making the most of every opportunity, and to act according to the Lord's will, what He wants me to do.
It's so easy to do what we want to do each day, if fact that's usually how we screw things up in our lives, living day to day with our own intentions on how things should be. And if we do that, we miss the opportunities that the Lord gives us to minister.
Verses 18-20 the message continues, saying not to be drunk with wine, but instead be filled with joy and thanksgiving, singing hymns and songs of praise. These are the things that we can do, that will help us to understand what the Lord wants in our life. Through the book of Psalms and even here we are reminded of how praise and worship are supposed to be active things in our lives, to help in our understanding of God.
May today be filled with joy in your heart, and may you embrace the praise of the Lord, and seek him out, so that we can make most of the opportunities He will reveal to us.
