Ephesians 5

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. -- Ephesians 5:15-17

Look carefully is more important then how you walk.

If we care about our life and want to use the best of it for God, we will often think about what we should do next in life for God. But God says "Look carefully" first, "then how you walk". I never thought about that until today.

"Don't waste your time on useless work, mere busywork, the barren pursuits of darkness." (ver 11, the message)

Mere busywork without an purpose is meaningless, even though it is a so called "good" work. 1 Corinthians 13 basically says that work without love, it means nothing, or you will gain nothing. Therefore, if you want to be wise, you need to first acknowledge love.

Life is all about love, and we can only learn about love by experience God's love in our daily life, like everything that He provide in this creatures, my family, my friends, etc, but most importantly is God is love because he send His only son and die for me and you. " do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is". To love and to be loved is God's will of our life. Get it.
