Walk in Wisdom

Welcome to 2021! They say “hindsight is 20/20.” I am glad that 2020 is in the rearview mirror.

Global Pandemic.

Lockdowns and shelter in place orders.

Social Distancing. Mask mandates.

“Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” Proverbs 11:14

No mass spread at Southbridge.

Stock market crashes and rallies.

Violence, Senseless Deaths, Riots, and calls to defund the police.

Political upheaval.

Temptations to turn our attention and

How do we respond to a broken world? How do we walk with wisdom, worthy of the calling to which God has called us, in a world gone wrong?

Ephesians 5:15–21 ESV

15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Make the most of every moment to live for the glory of God.

(Walk just like Jesus. Walk in love, purity, and in Light. Shine the light of God into the lives of men. Show the love of God in your life. What will you do in 2021?)

Watch your walk. (15-16)

Choose wisely your steps to seize every kingdom opportunity God gives you in 2021.

Understand God’s will. (17-21)

Let your life be filled and controlled by the Holy Spirit so that your life gives glory to God in 2021.
