Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 1 Oct 2008

Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 1 Oct 2008

Be wise and not unwise- understand what the Lord’s will is.

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 Lord's will is.

Today’s word of encouragement is being wise and simply understanding what the will of God is. Is it possible to fully understand what the will of God is? Yes, it is written in the Word of God, and to not know it, means we have to: read it.

It took me awhile to figure out what God’s will is for my life. At 18 I was thankful then for the Army because I could “buy” three years of my time. To not think about my future and what God wanted me to do. Though I was unwise, I needed to go through that experience in order to understand what God was saying to me all along.

I switched courses half way through my four years of university. From wanting to be a computer graphics designer to a business major. This was a wise decision I made. Simply because I was hearing God, and realizing that this is His will for my life.

Today let us pray that each person young or old would walk in wisdom that we may understand what the Lord’s will is.

Let us not waste time.
