Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

A way of a purposeful life. A life devoted to glorifying God the Father, lived in response to the sacrifice of God the Son and guided by God the Spirit.

Walk carefully and wisely

Use my time efficiently.

Avoid foolishment

Seek to understand the will of the Lord for my life

Don't seek happiness through worldly things

Recognize the Spirit within me

Let my joy be seen and heard by others

Be thankful in all things

Serve others as an expression of my reverence and gratitude for the work of Christ Jesus.
