Better Days“Making the best use of the time ,because the days are Evil”

Ephesians 5:15-20

Ephesians 5:15-2015 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

Better Days• Seek Better Knowledge • “Do not be foolish , know the will of the Lord” • Romans 12:2• Romans 8:26-27• John 7:17• Psalm 37:23• Micah 6:8

• Psalm 119:105 – “ Thy word ,is a lamp unto my feet , and a light unto my path”

Better Days• Seek Better Faith • Daniel 6

• The story of Daniel in the lions' den tells how Daniel is raised to high office by his royal master Darius the Mede, but jealous rivals trick Darius into issuing a decree which condemns Daniel to death.

• But the story is NOT that Daniel came out of the Lion’s Den… The story – IS THAT HE WENT IN.

• Have faith that we will go in to the Lions Den

Better Days• Seek Better Peace• “Peace is not the absence of conflict, but safety in the

presence of God amidst the conflict” • Psalm 34:14 “Seek Peace , and pursue it”• Psalm 91:1 “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.

• Romans 5:1 “ Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

• We will never find peace in Jesus, until we seek peace IN NOTHING, AND NO ONE ELSE.

“I rest beneath the Almighty's shade,

My griefs expire, my troubles cease;

Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stayed,

Wilt keep me still in perfect peace.”

- Charles Wesley
