"Because the Days Are Evil"

“Every day we relate to a world full of sinners, each with their own unique temptations. Not to mention the reality of Satan’s attacks. But in truth we look no further than our very own hearts wherein sin still wages war. We live in a fallen world. In fact Matthew 6 reminds us that each day brings its own set of troubles. We are continually exposed to evil. Therefore, it is imperative that we choose only the best opportunities each season has to offer, because we never know what trouble is waiting for us today—or tomorrow. The reality of evil is not to produce fear but rather to inspire carefulness. It is to provoke us to live wisely—to encourage us to buy up the best deals in each and every season.”

So there you have it. Ephesians 5:15-16 offers us some wise counsel about how we should walk and what we should "look out" for. Starting tomorrow, we’ll begin to go through the five wonderful tips on becoming wise shoppers of time provided by Carolyn Mahaney and her daughters.
