Giving Thanks To God The Father
At All Times
For once you were darkness, but not in
the Lord you are light. Live as children of light – for the fruit of the light
is found in all that is good and right and true. Try to find out what is
pleasing to the LORD. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but
instead expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what such people do
secretly; but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything
that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Sleeper, awake! Rise from
the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
Be careful then how you live, not as
unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are
evil. So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Do not
get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as
you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and
making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at
all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Be subject to one another out of
reverence for Christ.
The Bible urges that we do more than
just recognize our past wrongs; we must take decisive steps to avoid evil. Paul
warned the believers in
Wise people
don’t just admit wrongs,
they strive to avoid
a repeat performance.
