Ephesians 5:15 So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. 16 Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. 17 Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.

We are to be cautious in how we live our lives, make wise decisions, but also to take life by the horns and take advantage of every opportunity that comes our way.  Cautious does not mean boring!  Understand who we are called to be… and live it fully!

Do I know and understand the life that God has called me to?  Am I pursuing that life with wisdom?  Is my cautiousness resembling fear?  Is my boldness resembling thoughtlessness?

Lord give me wisdom, understanding, caution and boldness to live the life that you have called me to.  Let me think things through, then act with purpose on purpose.  Thank you for not calling us to live boring lives, but lives that matter and are filled with adventure.  Thank you that an adventurous God life does not equal rash decisions, but well-planned thought-out steps of certainty.  You are so wise and brave and thoughtful.
