Walk Wisely

 Be very careful, then, how you walk—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

Ephesians 5:15-16

Walk Wisely

Get wisdom, get understanding;    do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;    love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom.    Though it cost all you have, Get understanding.

Proverbs 4:5-7

Walking Wisely

Lolo Jones

Walk Wisely Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,  speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord,  always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:17-20

ASK

1. Do I really examine my life?

2. What would non-Christians say is important to me by observing me go through the day?

3. What are the priorities I set by how I “spend” my time?

Be very careful, then, how you walk—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.Ephesians 5:15-16
