Ephesians 5

In our hustle and bustle world, we go through life so quickly, that we tend to miss the opportunities that God puts right in front of us. How many times have you looked back on your day and realized that you completely forgot to pray or that you had a chance to tell someone about Christ and avoided it because you didn't have time? It happens more often than I would like to admit.

Paul admonishes that Ephesians here not only to avoid the sins of their society but also to identify those opportunities to share Christ. We don't have much time on this earth, so we must use what we do have to our advantage. Paul even goes so far as to say that a wise man will have his life in balance such that he can actually make the most of those opportunities and by extent, then, those of us that have other things in the way are foolish. Is your life in balance so that you can make time when opportunities to share present themselves? Is your life in balance such that when you share moral values with others they can trust you as being honest about your life?
