Ephesians 5:15-17


Ephesians 5: 15-17

Be very careful, then, how you live not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.  Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the lords will is.

 “How you live not as unwise but as wise” we all don’t know the answer and will never be totally wise or have total wisdom. What is wisdom to you? to me it is how close you get to god in your heart, others can see this. Wisdom is made by diving fully into his word consistently and steadfast. I believe that it is great to have fun activities in life but once they take president over god they should be cut out of your life. Wise people know the happy medium and how often god calls them to be in prayer and many other works of him. It is extremely hard to stay out of things that can consume us instead of letting god truly consume us and take over are daily life. For example many of us fall into foolish ways such as watching tv. This is no sin but it is a true and real sin when it becomes more important then gods word. If god is your focus you are walking closer to him we need to find all things that separate and diminish them and put god higher.

luke 8: 22-25

Luke 8: 22-25 – “One day Jesus said to his disciples, Let us go over to the other side of the lake so they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so they were in great danger. The disciples went and woke him, saying “Master, Master, we’re going to drown! He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided and all was calm Where is your faith? He asked his disciples, in fear and amazement they asked one another “Who is this?” He commands even the winds and the water and they obey Him.” This verse makes me think about how we can’t fathom the power Jesus has. Calming a raging lake is not even able to be understood because no earthly thing can control weather. Jesus says where is your faith this made me think of what kind of faith I would have in that situation. I believe I would say exactly what they said because that is so unreal. Where is your faith, I had that line repeating in my head as I was doing this

mark 10: 47-49

Mark 10: 47-49 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout,” Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more,” Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and said, “call him.” So, they called the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet. He’s calling you.   A simple blind man that had the courage to cry out to Jesus should show us how to stay strong today. The blind man Was shouting have mercy on me then many people rebuked him and told him to be quit.   But most of all he shouted even more, this made me think. This is how we should live are life when people are rebuking and trying to quit us. You must make a point to be louder with your faith by loving even more because those are the people that need us most. You must so be courage’s knowing full well you could be standing alone. We don’t have to spread the word but we must spread love and must care for others. people will automatically want your

mark 1:15

mark 1:15 and saying, “the time is fulfilled and the Kingdome of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel this verse is so beautiful I love the way the lord put it. The verse is very simple you can’t misinterpret it. it begins “the time is fulfilled” he is talking about Jesus' death on the cross for our sins and how he fulfilled the task the lord god put before him. Then it says, “the Kingdome of God is at hand” this is the lord opening the gates of heaven to all who are righteous. The last part is “believe in the gospel” I love the way it is said because it shows how simple the lord puts it. Have you ever got direction from a boss that was not clear and made you do something wrong? I have and is extremely painful to have to do something over because of miscommunication. This verse is the lord not enabling us to miss interpret his word and what he wants from us. His task for us is to just “believe in the gospel” which is the lord in himself. So, I can only leave
