Ephesians 5:15-21

Reflection Questions

1. What does it look like to “make the best use of the time” in your current season of life (parenting, work, etc.) and how does the reality that “the days are evil” shape your urgency and intentionality? 

     Hint: What are some practical ways you can evaluate and realign your daily treadmill to walk in a manner worthy of the gospel?

2. The Apostle Paul contrasts foolishness with understanding the Lord’s will. What role does (or should) daily Bible intake and prayer play in shaping your understanding of God’s will? 

3.  Verses 19–21 describe the overflow of a Spirit-filled heart. Which of these traits—edifying speech, heartfelt worship, gratitude, or mutual submission—do you find most challenging? Why?

4. How does the biblical concept of “walking” challenge the idea of spiritual stagnation? Are there areas where you’ve been standing still—or even drifting backward?
