UNDERSTANDING
Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but
understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is.
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be
filled and stimulated with the Holy Spirit.
(Ephesians 5.17 and 18).
POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE
1) Awake and fully alive to the purposes and plan of our
Lord and Savior we can live out His Life in His Light by the
accurate and precise guidance of the Holy Spirit, sensibly,
wisely and intelligently.
2) Making the best of our time by prioritizing His Kingdom and
His righteousness we can be on target and effective.
3) Maximizing His glory requires our clear understanding and
firmly grasping of His priorities for our life. This is predicated on
knowing His will precisely. This is possible when you are filled with
the Holy Spirit.
4) That is why St. Paul is telling us not to be high or drunk with wine
or by other means. Instead we must be filled and stimulated with the
Holy Spirit always.
This verse is a call to many who are trying to know God’s will for their
lives, but are distracted by many things, pulled in many directions,
perhaps seeking stimulation by other means. It is imperative that we
are fully awake, alert, sober, intelligent and have our wits about us.
It is vital at this hour to redeem the time because we need to have clear
minds unclouded, unimpaired and unimpeded . It is absolutely important
and possible for you to know God’s will and direction for you in every
situation and for every decision. This can happen for you when you are
filled, stimulated and led by the Holy Spirit.
PRAISE THE LORD JESUS FOR HIS INDESCRIBABLE GIFT!
HALLELUJAH! AMEN!
