What are we supposed to do now? How are we supposed to live? The simple answer...like Jesus. Easier said than done right? Paul tells the Ephesians that they don't have time to be messing around like the rest of the world. I love verse 15: "So be careful how you live; be mindful of your steps. Don’t run around like idiots as the rest of the world does. Instead, walk as the wise!" I think we can agree that most of the people on this planet are running around like idiots.
That being said, it's hard to not act like an idiot isn't it? I don't know about you but I've got the whole idiot thing down. I'm powerless to change on my own. Believe me I've tried...it didn't work. The only way we can do it is to rely on the Holy Spirit. Thankfully when we come to Christ He comes to live within us! It is the Holy Spirit that gives us the ability to humbly submit to one another both in the church and in our homes.
So I pray that the Spirit will fill me up and give me the capacity to be humble. I'm praying for Him to make me more like Jesus every day.
Enjoy the Journey
