For the last few weeks, Paul focused on contrasting between right living and wrong living. Today, we transition to the grays. We are not talking about right and wrong living but wise and foolish living. In life, not all choices are matters of right and wrong. Some choices are foolish even though they aren’t sinful. Paul addresses these Gentile (non-Jew) early believers that lived in an affluent, artsy, and pagan saturated city called Ephesus. He told them: walk in love, walk in truth, and now, walk as wise. The first verse (15) of our text says, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise” This is a very clear indicator that God wants me to take time to reflect on my life as well as plan my steps.
