The Apostle Paul counsels us to not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. We therefore have a choice. We can be wise, or unwise. God has granted us this privilege and responsibility. Merriam Webster defines the wise as: marked by deep understanding, keen discernment, and a capacity for sound judgment. The Proverbist wrote that a wise man fears and departs from evil (Proverbs 14:16). Do your actions manifest a person who observes keen discernment, and a capacity for good judgment? Do you fear and depart from evil? Many today have no fear jumping into the quagmire of evil actions. They don’t even consider what God would think about their actions. They allow offense, gossip, pride, hate, and other sins to cloud their walk with God. The wise refuse to allow any action without first meditating on the repercussions or benefits of their actions. Are you operating with sound judgement, or do your actions manifest an absence of the same? Would God be pleased with your actions? Do not be unwise!
Ephesians 5:17 – Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
