6/26 Ephesians 5:10-11
Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, rebuke and expose them.
SEEK
Seek the Lord. Seek Him in your quiet time. Seek Him in your Bible Study. Seek Him in your daily life. Walk with the Lord constantly on your mind. Seek the Lord and He will be found. You seek the Lord.

6/25 Ephesians 5:6-9
Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the terrible anger of God comes upon all those who disobey him. 7 Don’t participate in the things these people do. 8 For though your hearts were once full of darkness, now you are full of light from the Lord, and your behavior should show it! 9 For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.
SIN
Sin seeks companions. Run from sin. Refute sin’s call. Turn a deaf ear to sin’s reasoning. Follow Jesus. Let Him deal with your sin. Be filled with the Spirit and do not sin. Jesus is Lord.
6/24 Ephesians 5:5
You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is really an idolater who worships the things of this world.
GREEDY
Lord blot out my sin and help me to change. I do not want to be greedy give me a generous heart. Show me your love and compassion. O Lord strengthen me in my daily walk, equip me to stand in the onslaught of chaos and evil. This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice in it.
6/23 Ephesians 5:3
Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people. 4 Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes — these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God.
STOP
Stop the way you are living and assess your life. If you are a child of God you need to change. If you do not know the Lord ask Him into your life and change the way you are living. God’s children need to change day by day into Christ likeness.
6/22 Ephesians 5:1-2
Follow God’s example in everything you do, because you are his dear children. 2 Live a life filled with love for others, following the example of Christ, who loved you and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And God was pleased, because that sacrifice was like sweet perfume to him.
BELOVED
You are beloved of God. Before you knew Him Christ died for you. His sacrifice of His life paid the price of our sin. I don’t really understand how that worked I just know that it did because Jesus says whosoever will may come. Come to Jesus and He will take you to the Father.
6/21 Proverbs 3:33-34
The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, but his blessing is on the home of the upright. 34 The LORD mocks at mockers, but he shows favor to the humble. 35 The wise inherit honor, but fools are put to shame!
EVIL
Be careful how you live. Being a child of God and walking the way of the world are not compatible. Obedience is the pathway of life. Self is the pathway of the world. You choose but understand that by the way you live you are choosing.
6/20 Proverbs 3:30-32
Don’t make accusations against someone who hasn’t wronged you. 31 Do not envy violent people; don’t copy their ways. 32 Such wicked people are an abomination to the LORD, but he offers his friendship to the godly.
KNOW
Know Jesus and follow Him. He will give you the right words to say. Christ will equip you to deal with people in the real world. People count with Jesus. He will equip you to make people count with you. Open your heart to the Lord and He will show you how to live.
6/19 Proverbs 3:27-29
Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them. 28 If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say, “Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you.” 29 Do not plot against your neighbors, for they trust you.
UNTO
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Treat people as valuable. Respect others and do well by them.
6/18 Proverbs 3:18-26
Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly. 19 By wisdom the LORD founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens. 20 By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth, and the clouds poured down rain. 21 My child, don’t lose sight of good planning and insight. Hang on to them, 22 for they fill you with life and bring you honor and respect. 23 They keep you safe on your way and keep your feet from stumbling. 24 You can lie down without fear and enjoy pleasant dreams. 25 You need not be afraid of disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, 26 for the LORD is your security. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.
WISDOM
The world is a dark and chaotic place. We need light and life from the Lord Jesus. He will change our world from a dark place to a place of wisdom, peace, light and life. Seek to know Jesus. In Christ is the wisdom we need for daily living and eternal life.
6/17 Proverbs 3:13
Happy is the person who finds wisdom and gains understanding. 14 For the profit of wisdom is better than silver, and her wages are better than gold. 15 Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. 16 She offers you life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left. 17 She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying.
WISDOM
We are looking for wisdom. Each day we are searching for that thing that will equip, enable and endure. Our life benefits presently and in the future by our acquisition of wisdom. Jesus teaches us wisdom as we seek to know Him better. Seek the Lord with all your heart and you will acquire wisdom for living.
