"Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is." — Ephesians 5:17 (KJV)
To know and live by the will of the Lord—this is the true Christian life. Today’s meditation verse clearly states that to live without this understanding is to live foolishly.
Both Old and New Testament saints lived with an awareness of God's will. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself did everything according to the will of the Father during His life on earth.
God has even punished those who knowingly did not obey His will. For example, regarding the incident at the waters of Meribah, God's will was for Moses to speak to the rock. But instead, “Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice:” — Numbers 20:11 (KJV)
Because of this disobedience, God's anger was kindled against both Moses and Aaron. Why? Because failing to do the will of God was seen as a lack of faith.
“And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.” — Numbers 20:12 (KJV)
It was the Father’s will that Jesus Christ should suffer and die. Jesus knew this. However, Peter, out of love for Jesus, said it should not happen. But that became a foolish thought in Jesus’ eyes.
“But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.”— Matthew 16:23 (KJV)
We also see how Jesus, in His prayer at Gethsemane, completely submitted Himself to the Father’s will:
“He fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.” — Matthew 26:39 (KJV)
Yes, God desires that we live according to His will. Many times, however, we act without seeking or knowing His will. Today’s verse calls such a life unwise.
When we have a personal relationship with God, He reveals His will to us. Therefore, it is essential that we surrender ourselves to live according to His will.
In the Book of Acts, we read how God led the apostles according to His divine will—and He still guides His servants the same way today.
God reveals His will in various ways: through dreams, visions, His voice, or a deep inner conviction while reading the Word. When we walk according to His leading, we will not stumble, and we will have confidence and courage knowing that God is with us.
Today’s verse calls us to
live in such an experience:
“Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” — Ephesians 5:17 (KJV)
Dearly beloved, let us submit to the will of God and pray like our Lord Jesus did. If God judged even His servant Moses for disobeying His will, how much more should we be careful?
Let us pray: "Lord, reveal Thy will to me; lead me according to Thy will."
This is what today’s verse defines as wise living.
