Reading: Ephesians 5
My Verse: "Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless but as wise" (5:15)
This seems to have become something of a mantra. Live Each Day With Purpose! It is a good one, but what purpose? I like that the amplified used worthily and accurately to help clarify this verse. I do need to live with purpose - with the purpose that You give me, Lord. I need to live worthily - as a child of You the King. I need to live accurately - as You guide me through Your Word.
But before I can do any of that I needed Your cleansing Light to shine on me.
"Awake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall shine upon you
and give you light" (5:14).
Such a beautiful visual. Thank You, Lord for waking me with Your cleansing and healing light. I am now awake and aware of who I truly am. I am aware of all the wonderful possibilities. Your beautiful light not only lights up my present world but it shows light toward the future. You have placed so many beautiful promises in Your Word to encourage and give us hope.
"For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great are His mercy and loving-kindness toward those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him." (Pslam 103:11)
"The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore." (Psalm 121:8)
"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come [back] to you." (John 14:18)
I am now able because of the light You continually shine on me to "Look carefully" as I walk this path You have placed me on. I am enabled to live with purpose. I realize I am worthy and so can live as a child of You the King with high expectations of myself and those around me. I can strive to live accurately as long as I search out Your Word for guidance.
Yes, as long as I seek Your face, Your beautiful light will shine on me - healing and guiding me to live purposefully, worthily, and accurately! Thank You, My Lord and Saviour!
