"Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord."
Ephesians 5:7-10
Over the weekend I was busy cleaning my place... And when vacuuming I actually had to switch on extra light and shine it at the corners to see what was there and then explicitly take some extra effort to get the corners. Its great that vacuum cleaners have this little nozzle thing which you can take and point and corners and its all squeaky clean !
When we read verses 3 -4 , "But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving." we immediately are careful about sexual immorality issues... but what about foolish talk and crude joking ?
We are called to walk as children of light. Verses 13 and 14 say that when anything is exposed by light it becomes visible for anything that becomes visible is light.
Sometimes we tend to hold portions of our life locked down. We either go with the careless nature that its ok to carry on with it, or its become so much a part of us that we dont even recognize it . It is time to try and discern what is pleasing to God.
May we be found walking as children of light
God Bless
True true!
