Live4Christ

Ephesians 5: 15-16

15 Be careful then with how you live - not as unwise but as wise. 16 Making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.



These verses resonated with me, and reminded me that this world is not our home, and the choices we make each day need to be made with Christ being put first in everything. Our independence as Christians is found only when we are fully DEPENDENT on Christ. True wisdom in this world can only be found when we put our whole heart and trust in Jesus Christ, and make a choice each day to live fully for Him. I know that it is easier said than done, but Christ is always by our side even when we fail Him, which many of us fail him constantly. This world is evil and we can't let the wickedness of it seep into our lives, for we are freed from the bondage we once had with the world, and are blessed to be able to one day be in eternity with our maker.
I get weighed down by seeming to just go through the day to day motions of life, feeling overwhelmed by the darkness that seems to prevailing every day.But then I remember that the world is obviously dark and sad because Christ has not come back yet. We are living a dark, depressed, selfish, and careless world, but the good news is that Christ wants to use us to reach the lost and bring them an eternal joy that the world could never offer them.
So let us all remember to put Christ first each day, and seek to have Godly wisdom, which is so much more awesome than the superficial wisdom the world offers. We are free in Christ. Now lets show the world the joy that we have from that freedom Christ has given us.
