📖 Scripture:

Ephesians 5:15–21 (NIV)

"Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything… Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ."

🧠 Explanation:

Paul ends this section with a call to wisdom and Spirit-filled living 🕊️. Wise living means making the most of your time and aligning your life with God’s will 🧠⏳. Being filled with the Spirit leads to joyful worship, gratitude, and mutual submission—not self-centeredness. This is the mark of spiritual maturity. In a chaotic world, Spirit-filled believers stand out like peaceful, singing warriors 🙌🎵.

💡 Application:

Don’t live on autopilot. Let the Holy Spirit guide you in your words, your decisions, and your relationships 🔄. Fill your heart with worship and gratitude, and seek to lift others up, not just yourself. This is how you become living proof of God’s grace.
