See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

While watching my son participate in school wrestling programs I learned an important lesson: It is foolish to rush an opponent because he could use your momentum to throw you to the ground.

Christians, Paul is offering an important lesson to keep us from being thrown to the ground:
  1) Walk circumspectly - rather than rushing to conclusions
  2) Walk as wise - not as fools
  3) Redeeming the time - Seeing the current events - but by faith turn towards God
  4) The days are evil - understanding that the battle against evil is the Lord's because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Proverbs 9:10

Truth is sweet. Encouraging to rest on God's word. The battle is the Lord's. The battle is upon us. Be ready my good friends and rejoice that you were born for such a time. God will make a way where there is no way and we will witness His justice.
