Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15-16 Bill Lacy, head of construction, tell the story of a Pastor who went to Wal Mart and had to wait over three to purchase a new set of tires. When he returned home the pastor was unable to contain his rant and frustration regarding waist of his precious time. Bill in turn asked the pastor if he had used the time to share God’s good news. The apostle Paul also taught that we are to make the most of every opportunity. The phrase "be very careful" carries the idea of caution. And our goal should be to take the exact step God desires for us in every opportunity. We choose this kind of precision because there are consequences to our choices. "The days are evil" is not just a petty threat. There are pitfalls ready to swallow us whole if we make a move without seeking God's direction first. God desires us to be careful with the time we've been given. And our exact steps should be chosen with the goal of "making the most of every opportunity."
