There is a scripture that has embedded itself in my brain. I have learned the truth of this scripture, but I could never remember where it actually said it in the Bible. Does that ever happen to you?
The particular verse that I'm speaking of this morning is this, "Don't act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do." (NLT) I knew the Word said this, and in fact, I've quoted it several times...I just couldn't remember where it was at. This morning, in my quiet time I ran across it. So I'm documenting it HERE. So really, this post is more for me than it is for you! Oh yeah, and it's Ephesians 5:17. Here's some other translations of it:
"Don't be stupid. Instead, find out what the Lord wants you to do." (CEV) (I love that!)
"Don't live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants." (The Message)
"Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is." (NIV)

We CAN know what the Lord wants for us- because He tells us to understand what His will is!
This is a win-win:
Clarity and Confirmation of His will!
I love the CEV version too. No beating around the bush there!
