Jared led a devotional centered on the concept of using time wisely, as described in Ephesians 5:15-16. He emphasized the significance of making wise choices with our time, cautioning against distractions that may lead us astray from God's will. Jared highlighted the importance of investing time in God's will and warned against substituting religious activity for God's will. The discussion also touched on Christian teachings, specifically verses from Ephesians 5, with a focus on salvaging as much as possible from the evil world and maintaining a humble attitude in worship. Jared stressed the role of leaders, stating they should serve others, not seek to be served. The meeting concluded with a prayer.
"You may inadvertently substitute religious activity for God's will, pursuing your own goals for God's Kingdom instead of waiting for His assignment. Time is a precious commodity. Be sure to invest it wisely."
(Experiencing God Day by Day Devotional, page 239)
We also took a deeper look into Ephesians 5:15-21
Numbers 6:24-26
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord [a]lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”’
In Christ love ❤️ Jared
