Paul reminds us that the days we live in are dark, not to frighten us, but to wake us up. In a world that numbs the soul with noise, distraction, and division, the Spirit urges us to pay attention to our choices, our witness, and our opportunities to do good. Wisdom is not merely knowing what is right; it is choosing what is right when the culture around us chooses convenience. This is the call of discipleship: to live awake, to live wisely, and to live for God in a world desperate for His light.
