I really appreciate the Apostle Paul's challenge to the Christians at Ephesus to walk wisely in Ephesians 5:15-17. After all, isn't it true that when we mess up in life it's because we're not walking wisely? I know that's true for me. It's not that I don't know what the right thing to do is; it's that I choose not to do it – I choose not to follow wisdom. I've heard Andy Stanley say that the best question we can ever ask ourselves is whether or not the choice we're about to make is really the wise thing to do. That simple question can change a person's life completely. The debate is no longer whether or not something is right; the debate is whether or not it's wise. As you think about your decisions in life, do you do the wise thing, or do you do the unwise thing?
