—Ephesians 5:15-20
by: Scott Hausrath.
We live in a time that Paul described as evil. This provides us, however, with amazing opportunities to respond to evil with the grace that comes through Jesus Christ. In order to do this, our focus must be on God. Paul called us to be intentional in the choices we make for our everyday lives. We are to actively choose wisdom, instead of passively allowing foolishness to choose us. We are to choose to accept the Spirit’s filling, instead of allowing wine, or anything else, to fill us. We are to choose to thank God for all things, though we may not understand why He has allowed some things.
