Tuesday, February 7—Ephesians 5:15-17
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.
- praise God for Jesus who gave Himself to deliver us from the present, evil age, according to the will of our Father who set His love on us
- pray that God would make us aware of the fallen world in which we live that holds great danger for us, that we might hold fast to Him
- pray that God would grant us a heart of wisdom that begins with fear of the Lord, and would keep us from the foolish inclinations of our hearts
- pray that God would help us to be good stewards of our time, taking advantage of those daily opportunities He gives us to serve and honor Him
- pray that God would direct our leaders for directing us in how best to serve Him and to use the resources He has entrusted to us
- pray that we would submit our will to God’s secret will that governs all things and to His revealed will that directs us in His ways, trusting and obeying Him
