Resourceful because we are accountable (5:16) “Making the most of your time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:16). Live strategically Limited resource Accountable to His purpose Days are evil - 2 meanings days are evil Make most of time because

Knowledgeable because we are God ’ s servants (5:17) “So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is” (Ephesians 5:17). Trust Him that He is very involved in your life affairs. Trust Him that He can and will lead you. Trust Him for the way He leads you. Understand the will of the Lord Foolishness blinds us Deliberately seek His will
