Live Like Those Who Are Wise



So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.  Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.  Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.

—Ephesians 5:15-17 (NLT)


Heavenly Father,


Help me to live like one who is wise—like one who makes the most of every opportunity You give him—as I take the time to consider, understand, and obediently act upon Your plan and purpose for me, which You reveal in Christ.


In these evil days, help me to be careful how I live.  Help me not to live foolishly, but help me carefully consider what You would have me do—as I pour out my heart to You in prayer, search Your Word for truth, and as I listen for and trust the voice of Your Spirit to guide me.

As You reveal Your will for me, help me to be obedient to submit my will to Your will—for Your glory, honor, and praise.

And keep me eager and always ready to accept the opportunities You give me to join You in being a part of what You are doing to advance Your Kingdom here on earth—as I choose to live every day of my life with intention and purpose.


Help me to live like one who is wise—like one who makes the most of every opportunity You give him—as I take the time to consider, understand, and obediently act upon Your plan and purpose for me, which You reveal in Christ.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
